The recent mass evacuation is a 'living example', an official says

BEIJING - China spent at least 1 billion yuan ($152 million), or 28,000 yuan per evacuee, on the recent mass evacuation of its citizens from Libya, an official from the emergency management authority said on Saturday.

The evacuation, which helped 35,860 Chinese nationals return safely home, was a "living example" of the country's progressive capability in dealing with emergencies, said Zhao Hongyu, vice-inspector of the emergency management office under the State Council.
