　　CCTV News:On the evening of January 24th, local time, Jetstar flight GK35 from Narita Airport in Tokyo, Japan to Pudong Airport in Shanghai was cancelled due to snowfall at its destination in Shanghai. Of the 180 passengers on the flight, 5 Japanese passengers left the airport by themselves, while the remaining 175 passengers from China were stranded in the boarding gate area of the airport.

　　After the cancellation of the flight, Jetstar asked the passengers to leave the boarding area, take their luggage and solve the accommodation problems by themselves, but it didn’t explain in Chinese that the airport stipulated that the area would be closed after 11 pm, which led to the passengers in China not accepting the airline’s arrangement, and conflicts broke out, during which they even sang March of the Volunteers to protest. Until the Japanese Embassy intervened, China passengers stranded at the airport finally returned to Shanghai smoothly in the early morning of 26th.

　　My ambassador to Japan restored the incident.

　　Wang Jun, Counsellor and Consul General of the Consular Section of the China Embassy in Japan, said that the flight was scheduled to board at 10: 15 and take off at 10: 45 on the night of the incident, but before the passengers boarded the plane, they received a notice from the airline that the flight would be cancelled due to the weather in Shanghai, which caused passengers to panic. China’s embassy in Japan was informed of the news and immediately intervened overnight.

　　"At about 12 o’clock at night (stranded passengers) called our mobile phone on duty, which was announced to the public. After learning about the situation, we urgently coordinated with the airport authorities and airlines, and learned that the boarding gate where (stranded passengers) are located will be closed at 23 o’clock, and the boarding gate is a temporary area outside the customs. These passengers are afraid of the trouble of entering the customs the next day after exiting, or if the weather in Shanghai is not good, they may not be able to board the plane the next day, and they have no bottom in mind. Later, we coordinated on both sides. Some tourists thought it was irresistible weather and went to the hotel to rest. Some went to the area where the airport could rest, but some tourists were near the boarding gate. "

　　It is reported that in the early morning of 25th, a China passenger tried to go to the vending machine on the second floor of the departure area to buy food, but was stopped by the airline staff, which caused other passengers’ dissatisfaction. He had a verbal dispute with the two staff members present, and then it developed into a physical conflict. After receiving the alarm, the Japanese police came to the scene to deal with it. Some passengers on the scene asked to send a Chinese interpreter to cooperate with the police investigation, but the police ignored it and took one of the China tourists away. The scene was in chaos.

　　Regarding the situation at that time, Counselor Wang Jun introduced that the boarding gate area was not open to the public after 23: 00, and a special area was set aside under the coordination of all parties. Everyone could rest at the boarding gate, but they could not walk around. At that time, the electricity and heating in this area were deliberately turned on normally. There is no corresponding logistics facilities in this temporary area. After a long time, tourists may go to other areas because of hunger or other circumstances. At that time, the airline and the airport authorities agreed that these tourists could stay here temporarily, but they could not expand the area to walk around. Due to poor communication in language and other aspects, tourists were more excited, and then the two sides developed into physical conflicts.

　　After urgent negotiations and repeated coordination by the embassy, the airline promised to treat the stranded passengers properly, pay compensation for meals and arrange the next flight to transport passengers. After efforts, the stranded passengers successfully returned to Shanghai in the early morning of the 26th. At the same time, the Japanese Embassy in China also sent personnel to visit China tourists who were taken away by the police for investigation, demanding that the police handle them fairly according to law and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of the parties concerned.

　　"We went to visit him with a lawyer, hoping to provide more help within the scope of the law. We made representations to the police, demanding that they be treated humanely, including fair and just treatment, and try their best to safeguard his legitimate rights and interests. The China tourists who were taken away for investigation have no problems in their physical condition and mental state. The lawyer has been communicating with him and is currently in the process of legal procedures. "

　　Counselor Wang Jun said that the Japanese Embassy in will continue to pay attention to the follow-up progress of the incident, and at the same time remind citizens who travel abroad to treat emergencies rationally and avoid excessive rights protection or involvement in unnecessary legal disputes. I hope tourists will be more rational and seek help from the embassy. The Embassy of China in Japan will try its best to express tourists’ demands to all parties and try its best to help everyone within the legal framework.

　　Both airlines and passengers are responsible.

　　Many Japanese media also reported the incident on 26th, and used words such as "commotion" and "China atrocities". Most Japanese netizens were critical of the behavior of China passengers.

　　On the same day, Jetstar’s head of public relations admitted in an interview that at first, only Japanese-and English-speaking staff were sent to guide passengers to leave the boarding gate, but China passengers refused to leave. Later, I sent a staff who can speak Chinese, but I don’t know the specific arrival time. The source said that the company’s regulations do not provide any services because of the cancellation of flights due to weather and other reasons. When customers purchase tickets, they have clicked to agree with the relevant regulations, but some customers may not have carefully read the above regulations. He also denied the rumors about "treating Japanese passengers differently from China passengers" on the Internet.

　　For this matter, some netizens in China think that it is unwise to carry out excessive rights protection while knowing that it is a low-cost airline.

　　Netizen "Exponential Power" believes that when buying cheap air tickets, we should still read the contract details clearly.

　　Netizen "Numb_Madao" thinks that a penny is worth a penny.

　　Some netizens also pointed out that even if airlines are not responsible for canceling flights due to bad weather, they should be responsible for the follow-up resettlement of passengers.

　　The netizen "Long Er’s big face is really big" suggested that Jetstar Airlines would not have such a big conflict if it had sent Chinese-speaking staff to coordinate earlier.

　　Netizen "Zhao Xiaojiu Mu Zi" believes that Jetstar should communicate with customers in a responsible manner even if it is not responsible for the accommodation expenses caused by the cancellation of the plane.

　　A Shanghai passenger, who asked not to be named, believes that both sides are responsible for this matter. The passenger said in an interview: "I think both the airline and the tourists are responsible for the conflict. The airline did not send a Chinese commentator to explain the situation to the tourists at the first time, which led to misunderstanding; Secondly, some China tourists did not read the rules and regulations carefully after buying the cheap air tickets, which led to a lack of clear understanding of the services they could enjoy later. "

　　Zhao Yan, Counsellor of the Consular Protection Center of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, also talked about his own views. He said: "This is an ordinary dispute between passengers and airlines. In this specific situation, it is obviously inappropriate to solve the problem by singing the national anthem collectively, but it is easy to provoke national feelings and even intensify contradictions. Imagine if a group of Japanese tourists sang the Japanese national anthem at the Beijing airport because of a dispute with the airlines, ordinary people in China might feel uncomfortable. Don’t do to others what you don’t want. "

　　Zhao Yan said that nearly 140 million China people leave the country every year, and it is normal to encounter some unexpected events for various reasons. The people of China need to be psychologically prepared for this and cannot rely on the government for everything. This is not the mentality of a mature big country citizen.

　　To tell the truth, no one wants to change the itinerary due to force majeure during travel. Now that we have a problem, we should find a way to solve it instead of taking extreme measures in anger. It is conceivable that the airline failed to provide connecting service and did not provide accommodation and catering arrangements at the first time, which was really unacceptable at the moment.

　　In fact, the carrier airline is Jetstar Airlines, a low-cost flight under Qantas. Passengers who have taken cheap flights know that not only meals have to be paid for, but even blankets on board have to be rented. Once the low-cost flights are grounded due to force majeure, no connecting service will be arranged, all of which are reflected in the exemption agreement signed with passengers in advance. This time, due to the sudden heavy snowfall in Shanghai, the flight could not fly normally, and the airline handled it according to the agreement. From the legal point of view, there is nothing to blame.

　　However, in the incident, 175 passengers were reluctant to leave for a long time, causing the conflict to continue to escalate. Perhaps the airline lacks coping measures, and may not be able to communicate effectively with passengers, but it should not be a passenger in any case if it collides with the police or even causes injuries. The Chinese Embassy in China reminds Japanese citizens that "when purchasing air tickets, you should read the purchase agreement carefully, and treat it rationally in case of emergencies, so as to avoid over-safeguarding rights or getting involved in unnecessary legal disputes", which is a euphemism to remind our people that you don’t have to enjoy the transportation service if you buy a ticket, and you don’t have to send me to a place if you spend money. Abiding by rules and respecting contracts are the qualities that citizens in a society ruled by law should have.

　　Of course, the media reports mostly use the term "175 passengers", and I believe that most of the passengers may remain rational, just hoping to get more detailed information. After the airline arranged accommodation, some passengers also chose to leave the scene. But in any case, the noise and irrational practices in such an incident are still regrettable. Especially in recent years, similar incidents are not uncommon. In the minds of some Chinese people, the idea of "solving a small problem, making a big problem, and not solving it" has become a stereotype. And airlines and airports often make peace in extreme events, which makes this impression confirmed again and again. This makes people feel quite sorry and helpless.

　　However, please note that under certain circumstances, if every Chinese can respect the contract and abide by the rules, it may be better to show the prosperity of the motherland.

　　Reference News Network reported on March 19 (text/Ping Yue Jiang Tao Huang Jin Zhang Weiwei) Former US President Jimmy Carter mentioned in a speech in June 2019 that only 16 years in the history of more than 240 years since the founding of the United States did not fight, which is called "the most combative country in the history of the world." In the words of Dakota Wood, a senior researcher in the defense program of the American Heritage Foundation, the United States is involved in a war every 15 years on average.

　　Since the end of World War II, the United States has launched or participated in many wars overseas, such as the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Afghan War, and the Iraq War, which have caused extremely serious civilian casualties and property losses and caused huge humanitarian disasters. Since 2001, the war and military actions launched by the United States in the name of anti-terrorism have caused more than 900,000 deaths, of which about 335,000 were civilians, millions were injured and tens of millions were displaced.

　　In today’s world, the hegemony, hegemony and bullying of the United States are obvious to all. In the major overseas wars directly launched or participated by the United States after the Cold War, the war crimes of this superpower are obvious.

　　:: Bombing Kosovo

　　[Time] March 24, 1999-June of the same year

　　[Crime] Without the authorization of the United Nations, NATO, led by the United States, carried out a continuous bombing of the then Federal Republic of Yugoslavia for 78 days under the banner of "preventing the humanitarian crisis in Kosovo". On May 7th of that year, the US forces involved in NATO bombing attacked the Embassy of China in Yugoslavia with missiles, which killed three China journalists, seriously injured many others and severely damaged the premises. In June of the same year, NATO signed an armistice agreement with Yugoslavia, and Kosovo was temporarily entrusted by the United Nations.

　　The war killed more than 2,000 innocent civilians, injured more than 6,000 people, displaced nearly 1 million people, and lost more than 2 million people’s livelihood, resulting in economic losses of more than 200 billion US dollars to Yugoslavia. According to statistics, NATO troops used at least 31,000 depleted uranium bombs, which led to a sharp increase in the incidence of cancer and leukemia in this region and had a long-term disastrous impact on the local and European ecological environment.

　　【 Consequence 】 In 2008, Kosovo unilaterally declared "independence". Serbia has always adhered to its sovereignty over Kosovo. The British "Guardian" published an article on the 10th anniversary of NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, saying that NATO bombing actually escalated the Kosovo crisis into a full-scale humanitarian disaster. German writer Michael Luders once wrote in his book that after the Kosovo War in 1999, NATO went beyond the principle of collective self-defense and launched a military operation against Yugoslavia, which caused civilian casualties in the name of humanitarianism. This shows that in the eyes of the United States and the European Union, human rights are only a secondary concern, especially when human rights standards are only applied to non-allies.

　　Iraq War

　　[Time] March 20, 2003-December 18, 2011

　　[Crime] Many countries, such as the United States and Britain, launched a military operation codenamed "Iraq Freedom" on the grounds that Iraq possessed "weapons of mass destruction". A few months after Saddam Hussein’s regime was overthrown, the United Nations indicated that its inspectors had not found any weapons of mass destruction. On December 18, 2011, with the withdrawal of the last batch of American soldiers, the Iraq war officially ended.

　　According to statistics, this war caused about 200,000 to 250,000 civilian deaths, of which more than 16,000 were directly killed by the US military and more than 1 million were homeless. The British "Guardian" reported that the Coalition forces led by the United States used a large number of depleted uranium bombs and white phosphorus bombs. A report from the Dutch peace organization PAX showed that American warplanes and tanks used nearly 10,000 depleted uranium bombs in the Iraq war in 2003, which led to a sharp increase in the birth defect rate of Iraqi babies after the war.

　　【 Consequence 】 After Saddam Hussein was overthrown, the United States dissolved Iraq’s military, security and intelligence infrastructure organizations during Saddam Hussein’s time, creating a huge security vacuum in Iraq and opening the door to armed militia organizations that were not controlled by the state.

　　According to the website of the Gulf News of the United Arab Emirates, a bloody sectarian civil war broke out in Iraq, which led to the emergence of the "Islamic State" organization. What the United States left in Iraq was an ignominious legacy — — Corruption is rampant, public services are poor, armed militia organizations are everywhere and sectarian differences are deepening.

　　The war in Afghanistan

　　[Time] October 7, 2001-August 30, 2021

　　[Crime] After the September 11th terrorist attacks in 2001, the United States and its allies launched a military strike against Afghanistan in early October of that year on the grounds that the Taliban in Afghanistan refused to hand over Osama bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda, and quickly overthrew the Taliban regime and stationed troops for a long time on the grounds of anti-terrorism. On August 30, 2021, the last US military transport plane took off from Kabul International Airport. This "longest war in American history" ended in the sudden withdrawal of the US military. This war, which lasted for nearly 20 years, caused 47,245 Afghan civilians and 66,000 to 69,000 Afghan soldiers and policemen who had nothing to do with the "September 11" incident to die in the US military operations, and more than 10 million people were displaced.

　　【 Consequence 】 The war in Afghanistan spanned the term of four American presidents and evolved into the longest war in the United States, so long that it itself became a "hasty stop" in the "9.11" era in the United States. The article in the British weekly New Politician pointed out that the Taliban’s victory in Afghanistan was not only called a solid blow to the dignity and reputation of the United States, but also a public denial of the foreign policy called "liberal intervention".

　　The United Nations World Food Program warned in 2021 that about 98% of Afghans do not have enough food, and Afghanistan is facing "avalanche hunger and poverty". After the United States withdrew from Afghanistan, it imposed economic sanctions on the Taliban regime and frozen billions of dollars of foreign exchange assets of the Central Bank of Afghanistan in the United States, which led to the collapse of the Afghan economy. The interim government formed by the Taliban needs to deal with the problems of striving for international recognition, restoring economic and social order, and cracking down on the extremist organization "Islamic State". Coupled with frequent natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods, Afghanistan still faces a serious economic and humanitarian crisis.

　　:: Air strikes against Libya

　　[Time] On the evening of March 19th, 2011.

　　[Crime] A riot broke out in Libya, which quickly developed into a civil war. On the grounds of the human rights crisis, the United States led NATO countries to indiscriminately bomb the Libyan government and military institutions under the banner of protecting citizens in Benghazi. According to the data released by NATO, from the end of March to the beginning of June of that year, NATO has dispatched 10,000 sorties, destroying about 1,800 targets. The air strikes also caused a large number of civilian casualties. According to the website of the Canadian Center for Globalization Studies, NATO fighters deliberately targeted the tents set up in front of Gaddafi’s official residence and brutally slaughtered civilians, but the mainstream media described these civilians as "radicals".

　　▲ On March 20, 2011, Libyan government vehicles burned and exploded after being attacked by air (Xinhua/Reuters)

　　【 Consequence 】 Gaddafi was overthrown by the opposition, Libya’s economy quickly regressed, the country was completely divided, and it was caught in a stalemate in which the two regimes confronted each other with international support behind them. In addition, the rampant terrorist organizations have taken root in Libya, and Libya is still mired in war today.

　　Alan cooper Mann, an associate professor at the University of Texas at Austin, wrote in Foreign Affairs magazine that when the United States and its allies intervened in Libya in 2011, the civil war in Libya was nearing the end. At that time, about 1,000 people were killed, and at least 10,000 people were killed after western intervention. Since then, Libya has been in turmoil for a long time, with economic collapse, tribal scuffles and extremism. The refugee problem caused by this has finally caused great economic and social pressure on Europe. The United States, as the initiator, stayed out of it. At the same time, in the process of crossing the Mediterranean, refugee ships have caused many humanitarian disasters due to the constant capsizing accidents.

　　The United States, Britain and France jointly attacked Syria militarily.

　　[Time] In the early morning of April 14th, 2018,

　　[Crime] On April 7, 2018, some anti-government figures in Syria claimed that Syrian government helicopters dropped bombs containing chemical agents on the town of Duma that day. The United States identified the Syrian government as launching a chemical attack on the Duma as an excuse to use force against Syria. The Syrian government said that the so-called chemical attack in Duma was fabricated. In the early morning of April 14, 2018, the United States, Britain and France carried out a "precision strike" against Syria without the authorization of the United Nations, and fired more than 110 cruise missiles and air-to-surface missiles at Syrian military and civilian facilities from the air and sea, causing at least six Syrian civilians to be injured. In order to "prove innocence", the United States has continuously released videos on the Internet about the Syrian people being attacked by chemical weapons. However, more and more evidence shows that the videos published by western media are suspected of fraud.

　　After the civil war broke out in Syria in 2011, the United States and its western allies strongly supported the Syrian opposition armed forces, which led to the local war and conflict continuing to this day. Since 2017, the United States has launched an air strike against Syria on the grounds of "preventing the Syrian government from using chemical weapons." From 2016 to 2019, Syria recorded 33,584 civilians who died in the war. Among them, 3833 people were directly killed by the bombing of the United States-led Coalition forces, half of whom were women and children. On November 9, 2018, the American public television network reported that only the so-called "most accurate air strike in history" launched by the US military on the city of Raqqa killed 1,600 civilians.

　　▲ On April 16, 2018, in the town of Duma, the eastern suburb of Damascus, Syria, a child received food on the street. (Xinhua News Agency)

　　【 Consequence 】 The US-led military strike has further complicated the situation in Syria. According to a survey conducted by the World Food Program in April 2020, about one third of Syrians do not have enough food, and 87% of them have no savings. According to the estimation of Doctors of the World, since the beginning of the war in Syria, about 15,000 doctors (about half of the total number of doctors in the country) have fled the country, 6.5 million people have been internally displaced and 5 million people have fled as refugees.

　　The United States and its western allies strongly supported the Syrian opposition armed forces and tried to overthrow the Syrian government by supporting agents, which led to local wars and conflicts that have continued to this day. The civil war has made Syria the bloodiest battlefield in the Middle East, expanded the ethnic and sectarian rift in Syria, led to the expansion of extremist forces, the spillover of the refugee crisis, and the constant violent conflicts, making the situation in the Middle East more turbulent.

　　▲ On April 14, 2018, on the north side of the White House in Washington, USA, people held slogans to protest against military strikes against Syria. (Xinhua News Agency)

　　In addition to the above-mentioned head-on conflicts, the United States has also adopted such "unconventional" wars as "shadow war" (assassination by using remote-controlled drones and "targeted killing" by dispatching small-scale special forces in the Middle East, Africa and Asia) and "proxy war" (supporting the Mujahideen guerrillas during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the recent conflict between Russia and Ukraine).

　　According to a report on February 28th, 2023 on the website of the US Capitol Hill Daily, "From January 2022 to January 2023, the amount of US military assistance to Ukraine has reached $77.5 billion".

　　Christopher Kelly and Stuart Laycock, American historians, pointed out in their book "American Aggression: How We Invaded or Intervened in Almost Every Country on the Earth" that among the more than 190 countries recognized by the United Nations, only three countries have not fought with the United States or been subjected to its military intervention. These three countries were able to "survive" because "the United States did not find them on the map."

　　Tufts University’s research report "Military Intervention Project: A New Data Set of American Military Intervention from 1776 to 2019" shows that from 1776 to 2019, the United States conducted nearly 400 military interventions around the world, 34% targeted Latin America and the Caribbean, 23% targeted East Asia and the Pacific, 14% targeted the Middle East and North Africa, and 13% targeted Europe. At present, US military intervention in the Middle East, North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa is on the rise.
