Chinese Embassy in SA Openly Worried About the Safety of Chinese Diaspora in South Africa After a Spate of Recent Murders

The Chinese embassy in Pretoria published a detailed statement on Monday in which it openly expressed concern about the safety of the Chinese diaspora in South Africa following the brutal murder of 7 Chinese nationals in the past 50 days.

Embassy officials, according to the statement, met with local law enforcement leaders to convey their concern about the safety of both Chinese nationals and ethnic Chinese South Africans.

The statement appears to be an effort to reassure the local Chinese population in South Africa as it was only published on the Chinese-language section of the embassy’s website, rather than in English or on social media channels as is often the case with similar statements.
