Bloomberg: Chinese authorities are urging Chinese citizens in Eswatini to evacuate, and urging others not to visit the country, citing local security and scamming concerns. Can you elaborate a little bit on some of the thinking behind this advisory? Could you also tell me how many Chinese citizens roughly live in Eswatini?
Lin Jian: Eswatini is faced with a complex security situation with rampant telecom fraud and online gambling and extremely high safety risks. Issuing travel advisories is a common practice worldwide. Committed to a people-centered approach and diplomacy for the people, we will do everything necessary to safeguard the safety and legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens overseas.
Bloomberg: Would you be able to give me some examples of other similar travel advisories that China has issued, specifically regarding scamming and related risks? And also, China doesn’t have diplomatic relations with Eswatini. Is that a factor in this advisory or is it unrelated?
Lin Jian: We have issued similar advisories. For this one, I need to stress that given the extremely high safety risks and rampant telecom fraud and online gambling in Eswatini, the Chinese government, for the safety of Chinese nationals, issued the travel advisory after prudent evaluation.
