EFFECTIVE MEASURES NEEDED
As Chinese President Xi Jinping has said, the root of the current refugee crisis troubling Europe lies in unbalanced development and regional instability.
Thus, in addition to humanitarian aid, the international community should find an effective solution to poverty and social instability, and especially eliminate the cause of conflicts in the refugee source countries.
First, to end conflict and violence, any kind of foreign intervention should be abandoned, as neo-interventionism has proved to be a failure and seriously harmed the peaceful and stable international order.
Second, the refugee source countries should work together with relevant parties to find a political solution to domestic chaos, and exert efforts to develop their economies and improve people's livelihoods.
Third, the international community, especially developed countries, must do more to help people who live in war-torn countries. Actually, more than 90 percent of the 60 million refugees have been accepted by developing countries, and developed countries should shoulder due responsibility.
