Chapter 1255 Disaster and War

China, the National Day has just passed.

A piece of news has become a hot news in China.

A magnitude 7.6 earthquake occurred in Pakistan, causing heavy casualties and property losses.

Humans still seem helpless in the face of natural disasters.

Earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, landslides, mudslides, typhoons, hurricanes.

In the face of these natural disasters, humans still seem very vulnerable.

The place where the earthquake occurred this time was in the Kashmir region, with a depth of 10km at the epicenter. This is the strongest earthquake experienced in this region in 100 years.

Even in China, nearby areas have strong tremors and casualties.

According to aerial reconnaissance and space reconnaissance, many buildings were damaged and many villages and towns were razed to the ground.

China immediately extended a helping hand to Pakistan. 149 members of the China International Rescue Team arrived in Pakistan and provided emergency assistance totaling 100 million yuan.

Khalistan, Nepal and other countries have also sent rescue teams and provided assistance to Pakistan.

On October 9, the World Bank announced in Islamabad that it would provide Pakistan with 20 million US dollars for post-earthquake reconstruction, and Europe and the United States would provide 3 million euros in emergency aid to the disaster-stricken areas in Pakistan.

The Asian Development Bank provided Pakistan with 500 million RMB for disaster relief, and the South Asian Development Bank provided Pakistan with 400 million RMB for disaster relief.

In the face of great disasters, human beings can always show a united side.

Even the United States provided Pakistan with 50 million US dollars in aid; Canada provided Pakistan with 20 million Canadian dollars in aid.

At the same time, China mobilized tents, quilts, medical supplies, food, water and grain supplies from the Western Regions and Tibetan areas for local disaster victims to support Pakistan.

After obtaining Pakistan's consent, China dispatched transport helicopters to help Pakistan with disaster relief.

At the same time, the United Nations Children's Fund began to vaccinate 800,000 children in the earthquake area against infectious diseases such as measles, polio, diphtheria and tetanus, and provided vitamin A tablets.

Pakistan held a fundraising meeting for the South Asian earthquake, raising a total of 5.8 billion US dollars.

Afterwards, Pakistan announced that the earthquake caused a total of 40,000 deaths and 50,000 injuries.

At this time, India not only did not provide any assistance, but instead launched a war, trying to take advantage of this rare opportunity to capture the Indus Plain.

As soon as the war broke out, the whole world was in an uproar.

People from all countries condemned this behavior, but India was fearless.

India's looting undoubtedly angered Pakistan.

Pakistani soldiers were extremely angry, fearless of death, and never gave in.

Even in air battles, Pakistani pilots repeatedly drove fighter planes, crashed into enemy planes, and died with the enemy.

Not long after the outbreak of the India-Pakistan war, Khalistan, Nepal and other countries also declared war on India.

The war in South Asia has restarted again after a few years, which has made the world's attention focus on South Asia.

The powder keg of the world, including Kosovo, Palestine and Israel, the Korean Peninsula, India and Pakistan!

It is very different from the past. This time, the Iraqi army is in a stalemate on the western battlefield, but the northern battlefield is constantly being broken through.

Even before the Spring Festival, the Khalistan and Nepalese coalition forces had already arrived in Delhi.

This year's Spring Festival, Liu Tao's family chose to return to Beijing.

After all, his parents are old, and they prefer the whole family to be together.

When Liu Tao and others chatted, they inevitably talked about the current international hotspots.

This period was not peaceful. In addition to the outbreak of the South Asian war that attracted worldwide attention, riots also occurred in France from the end of October to mid-November, caused by an accidental death of an immigrant teenager. This incident caused strong dissatisfaction among local immigrants. That night, hundreds of people took to the streets, burned cars, smashed shops to express their anger and dissatisfaction, and clashed with the French police. After the local police intervened, the violent actions of immigrants increased. Subsequently, the situation quickly expanded to other parts of France, and eventually triggered nationwide riots in France. 39 municipalities or regions in 25 provinces of France were forced to implement curfews.

This incident reflects the problems in France's social and economic policies and immigrant integration policies that have been implemented for many years.

Of course, the immigration issue has also plagued France to date.

And this is not just a problem facing France, but a problem facing the whole of Europe.

Refugees from Africa pose a huge social challenge to Europe.

Then there was the tsunami in southern Thailand. On December 26, a tsunami disaster occurred in southern Thailand, killing hundreds of people, injuring and displacing tens of thousands of people, which reminded people of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.

Of course, the most concerned issue is still the South Asian war!

To be honest, Liu Tao has been thinking about the outbreak of the South Asian war for ten days and ten nights, but he still can't figure out why India would risk the world's disapproval and provoke a war.

This is completely unable to gain international support.

And India obviously doesn't care about international public opinion.

It has to be said that Indians always like to be unique, and their characteristics in this regard are very distinctive.

At the beginning, no one thought that India would start a war.

Because according to satellite reconnaissance, India has mobilized only 10,000 troops.

Ten thousand troops are nothing in India and Pakistan.

India maintains a huge army of more than two million all year round, and ten thousand troops are simply insignificant.

But India used these 10,000 troops as the vanguard and launched the attack first.

"It's time to eat~~" Liu Hongying came in and shouted.

The reunion dinner was ready.

There were so many people that one table was not enough.

This was because Liu Honglei's two sons stayed in the army for the New Year and did not come back.

Otherwise, three large tables would have to be prepared!

On TV, they had already switched to CCTV to watch this year's Spring Festival Gala.

Although with more and more entertainment methods, people no longer only watch the Spring Festival Gala as before, and the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala have hit new lows, but the Spring Festival Gala is still a choice for many families.

Tonight is no exception.

Everyone watched the Spring Festival Gala while eating the reunion dinner, and kept laughing.

Now China attaches more and more importance to traditional festivals, because traditional festivals are an important part of traditional culture.

China currently attaches more and more importance to traditional culture, taking the essence from traditional culture and removing its dross, so as to draw strength from culture and promote better development of China.

Culture may seem insignificant, but the importance of culture is beyond doubt.

One of the most important reasons why Chinese civilization has been able to be passed down for thousands of years and has never been cut off is the strong vitality of culture, which enables China to overcome difficulties no matter how difficult the situation is and finally usher in a revival.

Now China's revival is not only an economic revival, a military revival, a political revival, but also a cultural revival.

The strong charm and vitality of Chinese culture are becoming more and more prominent.

And this will further promote China to achieve a great revival as soon as possible and return to where it should be. (End of this chapter)
