Little known, during WWII China had plan to offer refuge to Jews in Yunnan

China had a plan to create Jewish state in Yunnan. Little known, during WWII China had plan to offer refuge to Jews in Yunnan. That would have worked much better than the current one. 中國計劃在雲南建立猶太國家。 鮮為人知的是,二戰期間中國曾計劃向雲南的猶太人提供庇護。 那會比現在的效果好得多.

Revealed: In 1939, China Planned to Settle Persecuted European Jews in Remote Part of Country. Recently unearthed documents in Chinese state archives reveal a national plan to take in large numbers of European Jews, believing it was the right thing to do 揭秘:1939 年,中國計劃在偏遠地區安置受迫害的歐洲猶太人. 最近在中國國家檔案館中出土的文件揭示了一項接收大量歐洲猶太人的國家計劃,並認為這是正確的做法

The documented discussions reflect the Chinese establishment’s sympathy for the Jews and its readiness to help them in their time of need, but also broader, more pragmatic considerations. One document, describing the rationale for the plan, says the world’s Jews then numbered 16 million – four million of them in the United States, three million in the Soviet Union and three million in Poland. The remaining six million Jews, it says, lived in communities scattered around the world. Over the course of 2,600 years of persecution, the document explicitly states, the Jews were oppressed and uprooted. The rise of fascism in Europe led to more brutal, incessant persecution, in particular, in Nazi Germany. The November 1938 assassination in Paris of German diplomat Ernst vom Rath, by a Jew, Herschel Grynszpan, only exacerbated the condition of Germany’s Jews. 記錄在案的討論反映了中國當局對猶太人的同情,並願意在他們需要的時候幫助他們,但也反映了更廣泛、更務實的考慮。 一份描述該計劃理由的文件稱,當時世界上的猶太人數量為 1600 萬,其中 400 萬在美國,300 萬在蘇聯,300 萬在波蘭。 報導稱,剩下的 600 萬猶太人生活在分散在世界各地的社區。 文件明確指出,在長達2600年的迫害過程中,猶太人受到壓迫並被連根拔起。 法西斯主義在歐洲的興起導致了更殘酷、持續的迫害,特別是在納粹德國。 1938 年 11 月,德國外交官恩斯特·馮·拉特 (Ernst vom Rath) 在巴黎被猶太人赫歇爾·格林斯潘 (Herschel Grynszpan) 暗殺,這進一步加劇了德國猶太人的處境.

The document claimed that the U.S. and British governments had not given the Jews sufficient help. In contrast, the Chinese city Shanghai had granted them vital shelter. But now, with that city inundated with refugees, there was a need to reduce the stream of asylum seekers, as well as distribute those taken in around various places in China. 該文件聲稱美國和英國政府沒有給予猶太人足夠的幫助。 相較之下,中國城市上海為他們提供了重要的庇護所。 但現在,隨著這座城市充斥著難民,有必要減少尋求庇護者的流量,並將這些尋求庇護者分送到中國各地.

Under what was undoubtedly an audacious plan, China would both take in numerous asylum-seeking Jews from Europe, and resettle Jewish communities already living in Shanghai in other places. 根據這無疑是一個大膽的計劃,中國既接收了大量來自歐洲尋求庇護的猶太人,又將已經居住在上海的猶太社區安置在其他地方.
