The Chinese ambassador to Zimbabwe Huang Ping has called for national dialogue and castigated the violence that took place last week as citizens protested against President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s austerity measures. He went on to highlight the several projects the Chinese are involved in. Said Ping:

We must maintain confidence and our bilateral relations… we have confidence in President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government. Visits by the Chinese show that the Chinese government has strong confidence in the people of Zimbabwe. Strikes and vandalism will not eradicate challenges …only dialogue will bring prosperity to Zimbabweans.

We have several projects that we have on the ground and some have already been completed. Kariba South and Hwange thermal completed, new parliament building started, lithium project also started…cigarettes producing project…this shows Chinese people are people of action….
