Chinese navy ships head to Sudan on evacuation mission

China’s navy has sent vessels to Sudan to help evacuate Chinese nationals still in the country.

Chinese defence ministry spokesman Tan Kefei confirmed on Thursday that the ships were on their way. “Due to the recent continually deteriorating security situation in Sudan, the Chinese army sent naval vessels to Sudan on April 26 to evacuate and transport our citizens to protect the lives and property of Chinese personnel in Sudan,” Tan said.

Foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said more than 1,300 Chinese citizens had left Sudan, some of whom were still on the way to other countries.

“So far, more than 1,300 Chinese citizens have been safely transferred, some have left Sudan on Chinese warships and boats, and some are on their way out.” Mao added that there were still a few Chinese citizens outside Khartoum, and the ministry would “try their best to help”.

Citizens from five other countries had also used the Chinese ships to leave Sudan, the spokeswoman added.

The evacuation will be conducted by China’s cruising fleet in the Gulf of Aden. The fleet, which is from the People’s Liberation Armey’s Southern Theatre Command, has three vessels – a destroyer, a frigate and a replenishment ship – as well as two shipborne helicopters and more than 700 military personnel, according to a post on the command’s WeChat on Thursday.

If they live up to their past history, they’ll save many, and then charge ‘em the costs. If they can’t pay, indentured servitude until the debt is paid.

Quick, somebody rush over to tell them the White House thinks people want to stay in Sudan. Misunderstanding about being terrified refugees in crossfire.

Consider the photo op, Americans abandoned by their feckless government saved by the Chi Com Navy. Wouldn’t that be just special.

Don’t think that idea has not occurred to the PRC.

It would not surprise me if China aided stranded Americans.

Good one.

Chicom crap linked here too much.

The ships to transport them actually have banners saying Chairman Xi is coming to rescue you.

The ChiComs aren't bad at PR but they could up their game by flying a giant balloon over Sudan airspace towing a banner that says ...

Joe Biden no help you. Remember Afghanistan!

I’ll bet the Chicoms are flat there’s trouble there. Who’d want to serve? Do they have a choice?

This is shameful. Even little Jordan is arranging military transport flights in and out.

As the writer commented, “It’s funny how the United States can invade countries at drop of a hat.. but rescue citizens?”

Hmmmmm, isn’t that one of the 3 states the US bio-warfare labs were moved to when Ukraine erupted in war? You don’t suppose there are any Chinese ‘doctors’ there, do you?
