BEIJING: China’s embassy in the Central African Republic (CAR) has warned its citizens risk becoming “mining slaves” in the politically unstable nation’s gold trade, as Chinese workers look to sub-Saharan Africa as jobs in the Asian giant’s gig economy dry up.
Chinese nationals have been killed or kidnapped by armed groups and even their supposed business partners, while others were scammed out of large sums of money and deported for illegally mining, the embassy said in a statement on Thursday.
