We'll probe attacks on Africans – Chinese Ambassador

The Chinese Ambassador to Ghana, Shi Ting Wang, has promised that the Chinese government will investigate the brutal assault of Africans at Guangzhou Province in China in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and bring to book the perpetrators.

Chaotic scenes broke out in the Guangzhou Province of China where some Africans were brutally evicted from their residences a few days ago.

This forced Ghana's Ministry of Foreign Affairs to summon the Chinese Ambassador to Ghana for questioning over the matter.

But Mr Wang says the Chinese government has a duty to ensure fair treatment of Africans, including Ghanaians in China to deepen the long-standing diplomatic relations.

He revealed that the Chinese Parliament is committed to probing the incidence with all the seriousness it deserves to unravel the real architects behind the confrontation.

Speaking to Class News' Jerry Akornor after presenting some relief items to the National Chief Imam in Accra, on Friday, 17 April 2020, Mr Wang promised that China will assist the government of Ghana to battle the coronavirus pandemic.

The items donated include 2,000 bags of rice, cooking oil and 6,000 disposable medical face masks worth GHS110,000.



The donation, according to Mr Wang, is in line with the embassy's agenda to cater for the vulnerable and ease the pressure on them in this lockdown period.

For his part, the National Chief Imam, in a speech read on his behalf by his spokesperson Sheikh Arimeyaw, said the gesture will facilitate his humanitarian agenda and promised that his office is determined to deepen diplomatic ties with China.
