On the 27th the Chinese Embassy in Zimbabwe issued a consular reminder saying
that, owing to a recent series of robberies against Chinese nationals in
Zimbabwe — including roadblock robberies and residential break‑ins —
Chinese-funded enterprises, institutions and citizens in Zimbabwe should
increase risk awareness and bolster security precautions. The embassy said
Chinese citizens should closely monitor local public‑security developments and
promptly follow safety notices from the embassy, overseas Chinese organizations,
trade associations and the Zimbabwean government; if facing danger, they should
prioritize personal safety. The embassy urged relevant enterprises and
institutions to improve on‑site security measures, strengthen employee safety
education and reminders, and enhance daily management and supervision of
security personnel; to operate in accordance with law and compliance
requirements, respect local religions and customs, handle disputes lawfully, and
properly safeguard workers’ legal rights.
