Jackie Chan's "very Philippines Gate" What really touched

Hong Kong tourists were abducted in the Philippines and caused eight people were killed and events for Hong Kong and throughout China are in mourning. Sent a letter to state leaders expressed condolences and sympathy to the people of Hong Kong self-organized memorial services to Internet users deplore the mood in various ways, the media is deeply reflective safety protection of overseas citizens. But there are discordant voices. For example, a recent Hong Kong film star Jackie Chan micro-blog "Twitter," published remarks, the Philippines, said the police handling hostage incidents to understand, saying "We do not hate." This remark, immediately raised a storm. Hong Kong, many stars and a lot of people feel angry and not understand, Jackie Chan and more public opinion to this statement as "the shame of Hong Kong."

Philippine police hostage rescue attempt, almost undeniable fact. After the tragedy, a few looted the Philippine police before the smiling pictures of buses, but also hurt the Chinese people's heart. Philippine government criticism of the police department, and the ongoing investigation and accountability act, the crisis also proved that on-site disposal of the Philippine police is difficult to "understand". Jackie Chan in a statement even behind the Philippine police, or more than the average person because of his tolerance and peace, or is not expressive speech, but in any case, this is not a fan favorite public figures by the right attitude. Jackie Chan should of course be an apology.

However, this is only one aspect. Jackie Chan as a "Stunner", always in the public mind has a very positive image, his words and deeds of charity is also rather appealing. So, why is he the vagueness of the "gaffe" caused an immediate defection fans do? Hong Kong tourists were abducted in the Philippines after the incident, whether from the Hong Kong people's reaction, or the direction of public opinion from the market to observe, very easily become aware of a phenomenon that is, the tragic accident in a public mental the formation of a collective trauma. Philippine police in the event of a long process of the details of each disposal, people have a lot of dissatisfaction and doubt. After the Philippine government's position and apologize, as many people dissatisfied. And these questions actually reflect a widespread fear that ordinary Chinese citizens on personal safety abroad, are deeply disturbed.

With Hong Kong tourists hostage as a "mirror" to observe, was not long before the Chinese workers in Pakistan in distress rescued event. By the end of July, Chinese companies in Pakistan, the construction of the hydropower projects suffer Duber rare floods, more than 200 Chinese workers trapped in the woods. In strong collaboration with China and Pakistan, Pakistan to overcome the major disaster present difficult conditions, limited resources and so on, using the four helicopters transferred the Chinese trapped. Chinese workers were successfully rescued the screen repeatedly broadcast on television, not only to make people feel happy, but also realize a large country on its own citizens unparalleled love, feel the Pakistan government to protect Chinese nationals working in Pakistan, the huge effort . As a terrorist violence, the Philippines hostage to this course is different, the possible ways and means of rescue can not be copied, it is not difficult to understand. But the Philippine government and the police in the rescue process in Hong Kong disposal of tourists robbed poor, but very different, and the practice of the Government of Pakistan, and the resulting tragedies, the Philippines, the practice of the police, there is a lot of available questions. It is this inefficient rescue disposal process for the Chinese public on the Chinese citizens in the Philippines and other parts of the country's life to be worried.

As the world increasingly frequent exchanges between countries, how to protect its citizens lives in his country, becoming the world's governments have faced the difficult problem. Particularly in the face of terrorist attacks and other sudden threats of violence, governments how the framework of international law and international assistance foundation, to carry out coordinated the rescue, but also a need to continue to explore. In any event, the violence took place and effective government attaches great importance to the disposal of all events in a timely fashion to address so that the safety of his citizens against violations of the first barrier. But it is at this point, the Chinese public's feelings and dignity of being deeply hurt. And Jackie Chan's "gaffe", then aggravated the injury again, the unanimous condemnation by the people, has become inevitable.
