        印度人看撤僑：「中國人在利比亞『包圍』印度」

我們印度人不是什麼都喜歡和中國進行對比嗎？那好，讓我們來看看中國人是怎麼從一個叫做利比亞的地獄中撤出他的國民的。中國到利比亞的距離比印度遠了一倍，但中國外交部2/28宣布，中國已經將29,000人撤出了利比亞。哇，這比印度在利比亞的全部僑民還多了11,000! 不可能，一定又是中國人在玩弄數字了. 但顯然這是一個事實。


中國人是怎麼做到的？有道是「有志者事竟成」。沒有必要上電視演說，沒有必要玩弄文字遊戲，沒有必要發表內閣聲明，去做就是了。作為撤僑的第一步，中國人把她的國民送到安全的周邊國家，這樣他們就不再有危險，正在展開的是第二步，把他們從這些鄰近國家帶回到中國。聰明嗎？顯然！但我們印度人怎麼就想不出這樣的好主意呢？


鄰近國家有希臘，馬爾他，突尼西亞， 都是印度的友好國家，我們甚至在馬爾他還有一個領事館。到昨天下午為止，已經有一萬多名中國人由中國駐希臘大使館租用的三艘渡輪，從利比亞的班加西撤到了希臘的克里特島。中國人知道鄰近國家中的希臘，塞普勒斯，土耳其都是老牌的海洋國家，會有剩餘的海運能力。在當地租船顯然更經濟。不過中國人比較小氣，哪像我們印度人根本不在意花錢，聽說過希臘船王奧納西斯嗎？

China 『encircles』 India in Libya

After all, we are obsessed with comparing ourselves with China all the time, rain or sunshine. Let us see how the Chinese are coping with the repatriation of their nationals from the burning inferno called Libya. China is twice as far away from Libya than India is. Yet, MFA in Beijing says as of today, China has pulled out from Libya 29000 nationals. Vow! That』s 11000 more than the entire Indian expatriate community in Libya. Impossible. China must be fudging figures? No, it』s apparently true.

How did China manage it? Well, where there is a will, there is always a way. No need to talk to TV, no need to 『Twitter』, no need of ministerial statements. Just do it. China just relocated its nationals from Libya in the first stage to the neighbouring countries so that they are no longer in immediate danger and on a parallel track the second phase got under way for repatriating them to their home in China. Wasn』t that clever? Seems so. But why doesn』t such bright ideas occur to us Indians?

The nearby locations were Greece, Malta and Tunisia principally - all friendly countries toward India, too. We even had a consulate in Malta. By yesterday afternoon, over 10000 Chinese were ferried from Benghazi to Crete island in Greece in 3 Greek vessels chartered by the Chinese embassy in Athens. China knows that countries in the region such as Greece, Cyprus and Turkey are old seafaring nations and they have surplus capacity. It is so much cheaper to charter locally, isn』t it? But then, Chinese are a parsimonious lot, unlike us, big-hearted Indians who don』t mind spending. And so much quicker it is to charter ships from the Mediterranean region. Ever heard of Onassis?

Meanwhile, chartered flights have been arranged to lift the displaced Chinese from Greece, Malta and Tunisia. Interestingly, China chartered Greek airlines as well. China chose Tunisia because apparently it has become a 『hot destination』 for foreigners fleeing Libya. We probably didn』t look at the map to discover Tunisia is next-door neighbour to Libya.

Of course, Chinese are a courteous people. So, as soon as the evacuation was over, Premier Wen Jiabao personally conveyed through diplomatic channel Beijing』s sincere gratitude to Greece, Malta, Egypt, Tunisia, etc. etc. (and probably, Gaddafi, too) for the big hand they gave. Of course, China also accommodated in one of its chartered ships 500 europeans who wanted to leave Libya. A goodwill gesture, obviously.

By the way, China didn』t send any warships? No need of that, either. China doesn』t intend to participate in the NATO』s 『humanitarian intervention』 in Libya in mid-March. Nor is China seekin

印度外交秘書拉奧當天在自己的博客上寫道：「我們現在並沒有在和中國比較，那是不公平的。」

人家都說了，和中國比是不公平的，那麼這樣的對比就一定是不公平的了!

民主人士大概不會批評印度，因為印度是個民主國家 - certified by the western world.

呵呵，有意思。謝謝分享
