Why does Svalbard prohibit human birth and death?

Our country is vast in territory and abundant in resources, with great rivers and mountains, but sometimes we also want to go abroad and feel exotic customs. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, more and more people like to travel abroad, but one of the more troublesome things to travel abroad is to apply for a visa. However, due to the expansion of tourist groups in China, many countries have implemented visa-free access to China.

Today, Bian Xiao will introduce you to the permanent signature-free quota of China. Is this place very cold? Unpopular? It is an archipelago located in the Arctic Circle. Few people have heard of it. It's called Svalbard. Svalbard has an area of over 60,000 square kilometers and a population of over 2,000. But it is this unpopular place that has realized the permanent visa exemption of our country. In fact, Svalbard was discovered by Dutch explorers in the16th century. Cold coast? The meaning of.

Svalbard is particularly rich in resources, mountainous islands and rich underground resources, such as coal, oil, natural gas and iron. Rare and lovely Arctic animals, including walruses, arctic foxes, seals and polar bears, are quite common in Svalbard. The population here is only over 2000, but? Permanent resident? There are 5,000 polar bears, far exceeding the population.

In this archipelago, there is also a clear and somewhat strict rule prohibiting birth and death. Maybe everyone feels very strange after listening to it. Birth, illness, death and illness are natural behaviors. How can we ban it? Why should we ban it? In fact, because the local weather is too cold, the body can't rot normally, even if it is buried for a while, it won't rot, and even spread the disease of the deceased. This ban has been issued since the 1950s. Once someone is about to die, the local authorities will spare no effort to send them ashore. Even if he died on the island, he wouldn't bury it, let alone hold a funeral. No one has the right to die here except sudden death.

Apart from death, this country also forbids childbearing. Pregnant women should leave here one month before giving birth, because Svalbard is a place without welfare benefits, and the local government feels that there is not much capital to raise a newborn child. Therefore, if residents do not have sufficient financial resources, they cannot live here for a long time. Maybe in our opinion, this rule is a bit? Nonhuman? However, these are also necessary measures for the better and longer-term development of the local area.

So why did this place implement permanent visa-free access to China? This also comes down to the signing of 1925 Beiyang government? Svalbard Treaty? According to the treaty, China people can bypass Norway and land on the island directly. Including 2004, China also established the Arctic Yellow River Station, which was officially stationed here. However, some people say that Svalbard is cold all year round and covered with heavy snow. Although China people will be exempted from visas permanently, it is estimated that not many people will come. After all, it's too unpopular. What do you think of this? If it were you, would you choose to come here? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area for discussion.
