Association President, Zhang Jian,
was quick to defend his people,
saying it was only a few angry
Chinese nationals who were
committing these crimes. Speaking at a consultative meeting
over the weekend, Deputy Inspector
General of Police Malcom Mulenga
warned those involved to desist
from such activities. “We have laws that govern this
country and as such, we shall not
condone Chinese nationals engaging
in criminality,” Mulenga was quoted
as saying. He, however, encouraged the
relationship that existed between
Zambia and China, saying the
southern African country was happy
the Chinese decided to invest in that
country. “We are happy as a government that
you have brought enormous
investments to this country which
have resulted in [the] creation of
employment for our people. We also
understand the challenge of security concerns that you face as
foreigners, hence our undertaking
that we work together in ensuring
that you operate in a safe
environment,” said Mulenga. Over the last 10 years Chinese
firms have invested in mining and
other sectors in the second largest
copper producing nation in the
world.
