How does China rescue the hostages held by Somali pirates?

First of all, the hostages are in the hands of pirates, and they hide them there. We don't know. How do we rescue them? This is not at home, you can send troops at will. This is a foreign country and can only be negotiated through diplomacy.

Second, armed rescue will inevitably endanger the safety of hostages. If there are your relatives among the hostages, you will definitely oppose armed rescue.

Third, these Somali pirates are not professional robbers. They are just poor fishermen who are forced to take risks for their livelihood. The people of China have always been friends of the African people, and we can't do anything about it.

Fourth, we may not be able to rescue by force. If the rescue fails, it will become the laughing stock of the world.

Fifth, the incident itself is a conspiracy of the United States. It is precisely because they support Somali pirates and provide them with information and advanced weapons on merchant ships that pirates are so arrogant. All this is to contain China. They encouraged the China navy to escort and instructed pirates to hijack China merchant ships and personnel, with the aim of provoking contradictions and disputes between the Chinese and African people and making them profit from them. If we use force, we will fall into their trap. And once the use of force, it is likely to be countered by other navies in chaos.

In a word, we can't use force.

So is it feasible for us to pay for redemption? Sure, but there will be endless trouble. The pirates benefited, knowing that China would not use force would bully us even more. So what should we do?

In my opinion, we might as well take this hostage incident as an opportunity. On behalf of the United Nations, China will take the lead in negotiating with the Somali government to help Somalia solve its domestic problems, especially to help Somalia develop its economy. China will help Somalia build a big port and become a transit point for world goods, which will bring considerable benefits to Somalia. Funded by the United Nations, China provides technology, Somalia provides manpower, and a large number of poor Somali fishermen are employed as construction workers, so that they have jobs and income and will not be pirates any more. In this way, China has established a close relationship with Somalia. China will negotiate with Somalia to rent a seaport and build a naval base in Somalia, and send a large number of warships to escort merchant ships of various countries for a long time. Our country has the first overseas military base, which has also seized the throat of world shipping and is also a great threat to India. By then, we will have greater confidence to negotiate with India on the issue of southern Tibet.

How feasible is this matter? I think the possibilities are as follows:

First, in the first 30 years of New China, although China was a poor country, China was very generous in helping poor friends in Africa. In the hearts of African people, China enjoys a high reputation.

Second, although China once alienated its African friends after the reform and opening up, in recent years, China's diplomatic line has returned to a certain extent and its contacts with Africa have increased. We must continue to strengthen our friendship with the African people.

Third, we have strong economic strength and our technology has been greatly improved. If we help the African people now, the effect will be more obvious.

Fourth, the situation in Somalia is complex and chaotic, and no one dares to touch it. Only China has the conditions and courage to help Somali solve the problem.

Fifth, Somali piracy has become a worldwide problem, and the United Nations is also a headache. If China takes the initiative, it will definitely give strong support.

Therefore, the author thinks this is a good opportunity, and bad things can be turned into good things. If we seize the opportunity, our chess game will come alive.
