Chapter 1426 The beginning of the riot
Perhaps it was because what my friend told him that shocked him too much, and the old man said this, his tone was very wrong.
For thousands of years, Chinese people have been a doctrinal nation that yearns for harmony and is invincible. It is hard to imagine that they will encounter such a tragedy in Indonesia today.
Han Xuan on the phone was also stunned.
The Indonesian riot in his previous life was born in May, so it is also called the "Black May Riot". When you watch the amazing pictures of the tragedy scene in the future, it is simply impossible to eat. He deliberately browsed this title and remembered it deeply.
In this life, the time sequence of many things has changed. Recently, I am too busy in Mongolia, isolated from the outside world and blocked the source of information, so I didn't notice it, and I am not sure if this matter will really be like in my previous life.
The sudden tragedy made Han Xuan unable to believe his ears at this moment. The bloody scenes that he once dared not see were all coming to his heart.
He let out a sigh and told the old man: "I understand. It is more appropriate to let AA (FFA) come forward to publish news. I will contact the director in person.
It’s just that the time difference is different, and I’m not sure if I can find someone. I believe that after obtaining President Clinton’s permission, I should be willing to help. After all, it involves humanitarian rescue and does not interfere in other people’s internal affairs. It’s just helping the evacuation of Chinese people who hope to escape.
What is the situation in Indonesia now? What have you told you?"
"It's awful. I heard that many cities are in chaos now. Chinese factories, shops, houses and houses have been burned down, and people have been beaten and killed. That country is really hateful. You were not cruel enough to it before!
The Indonesian president attended the meeting in Egypt, while military officials attended the ceremony in other places. The main senior officials were not in the country and could not handle the matters of life in a timely manner.
Alas, let me contact Clinton. The local Chinese are already organizing self-defense, but they do not have weapons. The seriousness of the situation may be beyond our imagination. If you can save more, you can save more."
Mr. Han’s words are full of gunpowder. What he said is not cruel enough, which refers to the economic crisis sweeping through Indonesia some time ago.
The local economy was traumatized in the financial crisis that broke out last year. Indonesia, which has been booming for 30 years, began to decline, currency exchange rate plummeted, prices of various daily necessities soared, and large amounts of unemployment caused social unrest, which are one of the root causes of this incident.
On the other hand, Chinese people have been migrating to Indonesia since the Ming and Qing dynasties. Now there are nearly 10 million residents who settle there, accounting for about 5% of the total local population.
Because the Chinese are more diligent, they are richer in Indonesia and wealth flows to them continuously, which aroused hatred among Indonesians, who believed that the Chinese had robbed their jobs and wealth with their treacherous and cunning character.
In addition, Chinese people do not like to get involved in politics, have a low social status, and are almost universally rejected and disliked by local people, which is also one of the root causes of the unrest.
Speaking of the anti-Chinese incident in Indonesia, it is actually not the first time. The country's residents have a long history of hating Chinese people, including the Sishui tragedy, the Wanlong tragedy, the Wendeng tragedy, etc.
In recent decades, Indonesia has still often experienced large-scale turmoil, such as the wave of anti-Chinese antagonisms across Indonesia from 1965 to 1967, and the anti-Chinese riots caused by the anti-Japanese movement in 1974, and they are numerous and small, and they are born in Indonesia almost every year.
From the perspective of Chinese people, Indonesia is even more hateful than Vietnam, the Philippines and other countries. The massacre in 1967 has always affected the number of Chinese people who died at that time.
If nothing unexpected happens, Han Xuan knew how serious the riot would be, so he hurriedly said: "Then I will call the senior executives in China. I can't resettle so many people in a while. I am not familiar with the senior executives in Singapore, Xiangjiang, and Baodao. Only the one in China is the most likely."
"Okay, go and do it as soon as possible, let's take action separately..."
After the old man finished speaking, Han Xuan called the secretary of the big boss of China without stopping.
The other party quickly connected and asked, "Han Xuan? Is there anything wrong?
The gentleman is meeting with the French Minister of Finance. I can help tell me if I have anything, or wait for him to finish. There is about half an hour left."
"Well, did he know about the Indonesian birth?
My grandfather told me that the situation is very serious now and I hope that China can help evacuate Chinese people in Indonesia. This is more important than meeting with the French Minister of Finance.”
“…
I know a little about this. Two days ago, someone came to report on the news that Indonesia might cause turmoil against China. He has given instructions, but the effect is not good. The local overseas Chinese do not believe us.
The day before yesterday, a Chinese man named Cai, a commander of an Indonesian special forces, issued an alarm to our embassy in Indonesia. After asking the relevant departments for instructions, the Minister and the Counselor quickly went to visit the local Chinese community, but was turned away.
Afterwards, the ambassador visited again. I heard that the local Chinese community only sent one person to receive it. When the ambassador informed him of the situation, he reported to the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs that the ambassador to Indonesia intended to interfere in Indonesia's internal affairs when the ambassador left.
In addition, we also sent planes and ships to try to persuade local Chinese to leave, but so far, most of them are still unwilling to appreciate it, and the relevant departments have been paying close attention to the situation.
Just fifteen minutes ago, someone reported to me that the local Chinese were unwilling to leave on our plane and boat, and even if they were told to send them to the treasure island, a leader was so angry that he threw his cup.
The door of the embassy is still open now, and it is said that there are more than 1,600 people who are willing to accept our protection.
I will convey Mr. Han’s suggestion, and the Constitution stipulates that we have the right to protect overseas Chinese. Please rest assured that this is what we will do, and we will do our best."
Han Xuan heard many things, and if it were the same as his previous life, it seemed that he could touch some truth about this history.
It’s not that the country is inaction, but that many people are unwilling to accept this kind of goodwill. No wonder some people say that in the future, the local Chinese who boarded the plane and ship or entered the embassy were all safe and sound.
Thinking of the current tensions and old history in Southeast Asia, countless thoughts arose in his mind, he inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it was not because of failure, he would be worthy of his conscience.
