Chinese police uncover link between investment and attacks on citizens in Africa Chinese projects, firms and workers in Africa more vulnerable to security threats in regions where armed conflict, social tensions thrive However, the authors stressed that the findings should not be interpreted as evidence that Chinese investment itself caused violence. They argued that Chinese investment was often concentrated in resource-rich but politically fragile regions where armed conflict, weak governance and social tensions were already prevalent. The South China Morning Post has decided not to name the report’s authors due to the sensitivity of the subject matter.
