According
to
the
statement,
a
Chinese-operated
mining
enterprise
in
Zimbabwe’s
Midlands
Province
was
robbed,
and
a
Chinese
national
was
shot
and,
despite
rescue
efforts,
succumbed
to
his
injuries.

Upon
learning
of
the
incident,
the
Chinese
Embassy
in
Zimbabwe
immediately
dispatched
a
medical
assistance
team
to
support
treatment
efforts,
urged
local
police
to
intensify
their
investigation,
apprehend
the
perpetrators
as
soon
as
possible,
and
implement
effective
measures
to
protect
Chinese
companies,
institutions,
and
citizens,
according
to
the
statement.

The
statement
called
on
Chinese-funded
enterprises
and
citizens
in
Zimbabwe
to
stay
informed
of
the
local
security
environment,
strengthen
onsite
protection,
and
develop
clear
emergency
response
plans.
Where
resources
allow,
the
embassy
recommends
hiring
professional
security
personnel
to
patrol
facilities
and
residences.

Chinese
nationals
are
advised
to
remain
vigilant
for
suspicious
individuals,
avoid
crowded
or
high-risk
areas,
and
conceal
cash
and
valuables
when
traveling.
The
embassy
also
warns
against
lone
or
nighttime
travel
whenever
possible.
