Will refugees from the Middle East flood into China?

â–  æ–‡| Song Hongbing

The recent impact on whether China accepts refugees and refugees on China has attracted a lot of attention on the Internet. According to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 24th, local time, on June 23, 2017, Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Lebanese Foreign Minister Basile held a press conference in Beirut to inquire about China's position on the Middle East refugee issue.

Wang Yi said that the current refugee problem in the Middle East is outstanding, and the Middle East countries have made great efforts to receive refugees from countries such as Syria. The refugees are not immigrants. Displaced refugees around the world still have to return to their home countries and rebuild their homes.

To solve the refugee problem in the Middle East, we must first accelerate the political settlement process on the Syrian issue and create the necessary conditions for the return of refugees. Turmoil and poverty are among the root causes of the refugee problem. To thoroughly solve the refugee problem, we need to address both the symptoms and the root causes, improve the people's livelihood through development, and create the necessary environment for the refugees to get out of trouble.

Foreign Minister Wang Yi also said that the Chinese government has always adhered to the humanitarian spirit and provided assistance to refugee recipient countries within the framework of the UN.

Q

Question from the trainees: If the Chinese side of the road is repaired to the west, will Muslims in the Middle East flood into China? Then tomorrow’s China will become today’s Europe and begin to be fully Islamized?

A

Song Hongbing Answer: It should be said that the railway and personnel flow are two concepts. We watch the planes of various countries flying around in the sky, but immigrants may not be able to move around because you need a visa! The same situation after the repair of the railway is the same concept. The railway also has customs. It also needs to go through customs, enter customs, and also need a visa. How can we get in without a visa?

In a sense, the flow of people will definitely increase, and there is no doubt about it. The flow of goods will inevitably bring about the flow of people. The number of foreigners who travel to China on business, business, business travel, and study abroad will increase substantially. This is certain.

As for the Islamicization of China that you are worried about, I don't think it will happen. I have talked about this before. First of all, any kind of civilization, including Islamic culture, has a lot to do with its geographical conditions. You will find that Braudel has already put forward this idea.

1. Islamic civilization is essentially a desert civilization

Its core area is in the so-called hot desert area, North Africa and the Middle East, which is the core area of ​​Islamic civilization. In the cold desert , its influence will be attenuated. For example, in China's Xinjiang, Mobei area, and the Mongolian prairie in the north, its influence will be attenuated here.

What is this hot desert and cold desert? In the hot desert area, we see the dromedary camel, and the cold desert area is the Bactrian camel. It is distinguished by this. In the middle of the cold desert, more nutrients are needed in the winter. The degree of Islam belief is the strongest in the hot desert region, and it begins to be cut in the cold desert region, and the grassland region is more attenuated.

For example, this attenuation on the Mongolian prairie is obvious . Let's not look at the impact of a period of time. You have to look at the span of the millennium. From the rise of Islam in more than 600 years, until the present history, you will find the Mongolians in northern China in history. The degree of acceptance of Islam is very low. They mainly believe in Lamaism, but some people believe in Islam, but the degree of belief is worse.

When it comes to farming and civilized areas, this attenuation is more obvious . For example, Spain, as well as many parts of Eastern Europe, such as Croatia, Slovenia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina I have just visited, although some people believe in Islam, but the proportion is very low, such as the Muslims, are there any of these people? Of course there are, but they are an absolute minority in the Croatian population and almost none in Slovenia. In Spain, many people have converted to Islam for more than a hundred years, but with the restoration of the 1492, the Spanish natives are now almost impossible to believe in Islam.

In these places in Italy, Islam is completely inaccessible. Because it is an ancient civilization in Western Europe and a very strong area of ​​Christian culture, how can you pass it in? When I arrived in Germany, no one believed in the forest area. It was even more impossible when it came to Northern Europe. The locals would not believe it unless you were a Muslim and then immigrated.

2. Islam cannot penetrate China

It has not been more than 1300 years since Islam was introduced into China, but it has not been able to stand in the core civilized area outside the Central Plains . The agricultural area in Guanzhong is unlikely to be accepted on a large scale. This has been tested for more than 1300 years. The main reason is that the line of the Great Wall is divided by China's precipitation line. The main reason is the agricultural civilization. The foundation of Confucian culture is too strong. It has been rooted for more than two thousand years and is deeper than the core civilization of Europe.

Therefore, various religions were transmitted to China, and the final result was assimilated . Buddhism has become Chinese-style Buddhism, and Christianity has not had much influence. Throughout the ages, the introduction of Nestorianism from the Tang Dynasty, until later Catholicism and Christianity. Although there are many believers now, it should be said that the Han nationality, which has been trained by Confucian culture for more than two thousand years, may be the purest pragmatist in the world. They do not believe in any religion, and they do not believe in it. A god who is high above guides our lives, which is incompatible with our cultural genes.

Even if you believe in teaching, or Buddhism, or Christianity, it is for your own benefit. Can you make my child a good university? Can you help my parents cure? Going to God and praying is for such an extremely utilitarian and extremely realistic purpose. If it is not good for me, why should I believe in you? This is the main mentality of the Han people. It will never change for thousands of years. The past will not change. It will not change now, and the future will not change. This is our pragmatic philosophical system.

This pragmatism has led to all religions, and all cultures must be transformed and transferred to China. In this sense, it is impossible to imagine that many people around you who do not believe in Islam suddenly become Islamic believers. That is impossible.

Therefore, in the long run, China will not have the problem of Islamization. Because even when Islam is the most powerful, it is more than 700 years AD, China is the Tang Dynasty, the most inclusive, and Islamic culture is the most powerful time, its science, Technology, art, and all kinds of civilizations far exceed Western Europe. That is when it is most attractive. It does not affect too many areas, nor does it cause fundamental cultural changes in China, let alone it is now In the low state, the radiation and contagious power of civilization is far less than that of the seven hundred years of AD. How could it be greatly expanded? Therefore, from a historical perspective, this kind of worry is a worry, and you don't have to worry about it.

Of course, I often walk in the Middle East and think that the place is very interesting. You will find it very interesting to study their civilization, not as scary as we think. If you are so scary, there is no guarantee that you are safe in that person. The reality is the opposite. My personal feeling is that in Iran and Turkey, those places are safe. Unlike the media bombings or terrorist attacks that our media say, it is not so serious. The media may magnify the fear, you are real. Going there to go and live, I believe it is safer.
