Only three days, there are 25 Chinese workers in Egypt’s Sinai region local shellfish vary from person to person detained, but fortunately soon be released in full.

In recent years, Chinese companies have moved overseas footprint into North Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, the unstable situation in the region. The ensuing attacks there is a growing trend. According to incomplete statistics, since 2007, similar to Sudan kidnap such event there were 13 cases, seven of which occurred in Africa, attacked mostly petroleum, construction, and mining companies, expatriates.

Who will protect the safety of overseas Chinese workers? Experts and industry insiders have a variety of overseas security policy including to send troops to rescue the development of civil security,

Put put, But his mind was filled with another 29 missing Chinese workers.

These days, Chen Xiao Xing pay close attention to two cases of kidnapping for the Chinese people. Worked in Africa for over ten years of his empathy for such a crisis. His heart more than the security of the root chord: the workers can not relax. Who are familiar with Africa, Nigeria granted the Ibo clan chiefs the title of Chinese entrepreneurs, he accumulated over the years security experience to the

Chen stars Due to the complexity of Africa’s national conditions, the Chinese enterprises should learn to various people, to establish a broad network of relationships. Local businesses, organizations, local elders, and even snakes, should be a good relationship. local trade unions, youth organizations and local forces, by the enterprises themselves solve the problem.

Over the years, Chen star within the company to establish preventive measures, not only the formation and internal communication mechanisms, including embassies, news media, including, also set up their own security teams. Chen star also encouraged to psychological barriers, to reduce security risks.

Seek

Chinese workers abducted in Sudan, the Sudanese government in time to meet the Chinese Government to the rescue. Khaled Saad, the Sudanese military spokesman announced on January 30, Sudanese government forces have recently hijacking in South Kordofan, additional troops and to strengthen the logistical support in order to wipe out the region’s anti-government armed .

The former Chinese Ambassador Cui Yongqian in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), said in an interview with occur, anti-government groups continue to attack to the government for various reasons, or even attack with the government and from the foreign staff. For these cases, local governments are well aware, and therefore have the responsibility to increase the security of Chinese officials.

Chen star also said that as such a large state-owned enterprises generally and local government security cooperation. In addition, in recent years, many Chinese enterprises under the leadership of the Chinese Embassy with the local government signed a cooperation agreement the Chinese company into the other country’s security system, thus ending the original fragmented, the lack of systematic protection situation.

Foreign security companies ready to come

In addition to the host government’s asylum and self defense, He Wenping, CASS African Studies Research Office, the World Business News analysis of the security measures of other options, one of which is the establishment of specialized foreign security companies.

According to At present, China’s domestic security company is still sound, the size is not large, and the service is still domestic-based.

There have been media reports in 2004, a Ningbo businessmen to open a bodyguard company, prefer to give the overseas Chinese people to provide security news. This company is said to bring together the parties of the elite special forces, the Guard Bureau, the Marine Corps was born. In October 2010, the Shandong Warwick Security Group established its first overseas security service center was established in Beijing. Private security company set up to provide personal and property security services for overseas Chinese and Chinese enterprises, and its first target market is set in Iraq.

Point of view, when necessary, to send special forces to rescue kidnapping victims. He Wenping, said: , but also on the kidnappers of a deterrent, but also very efficient. Chen star also said that the danger of some major projects, special forces deployed to protect, is a good choice, but only to be familiar with local conditions and have accurate information.

Consular protection was too weak

China’s Foreign Ministry data show that China’s outbound average annual growth of 30%, exceeded 60 million people in 2010 and 2011 exceeded 75 million people. Chinese people going abroad for a growing number of today, become an important topic of the Chinese government to strengthen consular protection.

Li Wei, director of the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations, counter-terrorism research center, said, respond more quickly and spent more national resources has played a positive role for the prevention of risks and reduce losses.

According to Li Wei, a security risk are mainly three categories: one category is not controllable risks, such as Libya and Somalia’s civil war; The second type is a controllable risk, mainly referring to the different forms of organization for Chinese overseas interests terrorist attacks occurred in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Latin America; The last category is the normal risk of, for example, the Chinese man was robbed in Rome event.

However, a set of numbers, it also illustrates the difficulties encountered by the Chinese consular protection. It is understood that the Chinese consular protection of resources is relatively limited, especially with a serious shortage. Chinese embassies, consulates, only 600 people do the work of consular protection, according to the exit for 60 million passengers in 2010, each officer a year to provide for 10 million people may need consular protection, China is a: 100 000, the United States, 1:5000.

Li Wei believes that Chinese citizens and enterprises in the overseas security officials and the public the road, we must take. The one hand, the state should provide protection in early warning of security risks and the policies and regulations; the other hand, businesses and individuals need to strengthen coordination with host countries, and jointly developed security measures.

In this regard, Chen Xiao Xing strongly about this. as some particularly dangerous place, simply do not let them go.

these two regions will be the biggest challenge to the United States.

Monday, February 13th, 2012

According to Japanese diplomats dialogue on issues. It seems that the United States is turning their attention from the fight against terrorists to enhance the role of change in the Asia-Pacific region. However, this decision is correct? If correct, the United States to get what benefits, as well as the United States will face what challenges and other issues questions.
<- more ->

Langevin believes that a long time, the degree of attention to the interests of the Asia-Pacific region is far less concerned about a massive ground in Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Turn our attention to some of the projects and the ability to strengthen cooperation with Pacific allies, the military ready to respond to rapidly changing global security environment; to help the United States in the coming decades to maintain their military a dominant position in various fields. In order to ensure that the United States in the Asia-Pacific region and global success, it needs to maintain the technological leadership to respond to current and future threats. These technologies include unmanned systems, underwater tactical and strategic systems and network security capabilities.

Referring to people related to strengthening the US-Australian relations and when the argument of the garrison city of Darwin, Australia, Langevin believes that such action is appropriate; because it is part of the United States to strengthen relations between countries and Asia-Pacific strategy.

Essentially talking about the U.S. military and diplomatic action in the Pacific in order to The relationship is very important. At present, China has become the world’s second largest economy. At the same time, China’s trade and diplomatic position is not consistent, but not coordinated action with the United States. Maintaining a strong military presence in the Pacific region to help ensure and maintain stability in the region, the U.S. approach is not just to protect their own interests, but also to protect the interests of U.S. allies.

Reduce its military budget, the Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney believes that such a reduction will be a devastating impact on delivery capability of the United States. Langevin reduction plan expressed their support, he believes the plan is carried out under the strong leadership of the Defense Secretary Panetta; to cut the Pentagon’s spending to provide a lasting framework of feasibility, but also to ensure that the United States in the world within the military leader, can also strengthen U.S. national security. Admiral Mullen agrees, saying that the U.S. debt is the biggest security challenge in the United States. The long run, the United States can not only to ensure their own safety, should also deal with debt problems in a responsible manner. In the case of the U.S. military withdrawal from Iraq as well as more troops return home from Afghanistan, the United States can and must increase the efficiency. For example, by cutting the size of the army, to reduce the military presence in Europe. At the same time, the U.S. needs to maintain or even increase their military capabilities. He believes that the U.S. must accept its not the fact that to reach any place at all times; saying the United States must be the resources used in the most important aspects. And insisted that Obama’s goal to strengthen relations with the allies allows us to victory in the U.S. less involved in the case in a place like Libya.

Langevin agreed with Panetta made in priority development projects:

Downsizing of the U.S. Joint Forces, increase its deployment of mobility, flexibility, readiness, creativity and technological advantages.

Rebalance the global deployment and in the United States, emphasizing the importance of the Asia-Pacific and the Middle East; these two regions will be the biggest challenge to the United States.

To strengthen U.S. relations with key allies and partnerships; the development of new ways to maintain the U.S. presence in the rest of the world.

Adjust the size and strength of ground forces, air force and navy. In this case, the United States will be able to successfully meet and defeat any hostile forces can make the appropriate response to the change of the nature of war.

To strengthen investment in the special forces and new technologies (such as unmanned reconnaissance systems, space and cyber warfare capabilities), while paying attention to strengthen the rapid mobility capability.

Finally, the paper evaluated the rise of China’s military threat posed to U.S. interests; and specific reference to China’s regional refused to stop / anti-intervention ability of the threat posed to U.S. interests.

Langevin concerned about China’s cyber warfare capabilities. He believes that the People’s Liberation Army in protecting their own interests has made very significant progress; other countries (especially China and Russia), and they are composed of groups of countries are trying to obtain sensitive information from the United States; colleagues also tried to steal from the American business system hundreds of billions of dollars worth of R & D data, which makes them the ability to harm the United States is both important and fragile infrastructure.

In his view, should also pay attention to the development of the Chinese Navy; this could make U.S. interests are protected. Langevin has been supporting the U.S. military to maintain an adequate number of submarines, he has also been promoting the construction project of the Virginia-class submarines in cooperation with the Rhode Island Electric Boat Corporation (Electric Boat); Panetta defense minister also expressed this the strong support of the project. Langevin hope that the project has been a priority development project
