Gunmen kill 9 Chinese at mine in Central African Republic

持枪歹徒在中非共和国矿场杀害9名中国公民

Gunmen stormed a Chinese-operated gold mining site that had recently been launched in Central African Republic, killing nine Chinese nationals and wounding two others Sunday, authorities said.

However, the rebel coalition initially blamed by some for the attack put out a statement later in the day. Without providing evidence, it accused Russian mercenaries from the Wagner Group of being behind the violence.

The attack early Sunday came just days after gunmen kidnapped three Chinese nationals in the country’s west near the border with Cameroon, prompting President Faustin Archange Touadera to plan a trip to China in a bid to reassure investors.

The assault on the Chimbolo gold mine began around 5 a.m. when the gunmen overpowered the site’s guards and opened fire, said Abel Matipata, mayor of the nearby town of Bambari, located 25 kilometers (16 miles) away. The mining site’s launch had taken place just days earlier, he added.

当局表示，周日，枪手袭击了最近在中非共和国启动的一个中国经营的金矿，造成9名中国公民死亡，2人受伤。

然而，最初被一些人指责为此次袭击的反叛联盟在当天晚些时候发表了一份声明。在没有提供证据的情况下，它指责瓦格纳集团的俄罗斯雇佣军是暴力事件的幕后黑手。

就在周日早些时候的袭击发生前几天，枪手在该国西部靠近喀麦隆边境的地方绑架了三名中国公民，促使总统福斯汀·阿昌格·图阿德拉计划前往中国，以安抚投资者。

附近25公里（16英里）外的班巴里镇镇长Abel Matipata说，对Chimbolo金矿的袭击始于凌晨5点左右，当时枪手制服了现场的警卫并开枪。他补充道，矿场是在几天前启动的。

It wouldn't come as a surprise if investigation reveals later on this was carried out by local militia groups because of what they view as exploitation of their natural resources. For example, we have already seen targeting of Chinese nationals by the BLA in Pakistan because the Baloch are of the view that their natural resource are being exploited through CPEC.

后来的调查显示，这是由当地民兵组织实施的，他们认为对方在开采自然资源，这也就不足为奇了。例如，我们已经看到巴基斯坦的BLA针对中国公民，因为俾路支人认为他们的自然资源正在被开采。

Africans have now begun to realize the China imperialist threat to Africa.

非洲人现在已经开始意识到中华帝国主义对非洲构成的威胁。

Two shoe making companies from India and China went to Africa. Our marketing executive on seeing Africans not wearing shoes reported that we can not sell a single pair of shoe in Africa. We can't open showroom in Africa. But, Chinese executive had reported that they should popularize wearing shoes in Africa and to dominate the market as first comer. They Chinese are more positive attitude in the field of development and business

各有一家来自印度和中国的制鞋公司前往非洲开拓市场。我们印度的营销主管看到非洲人不穿鞋后报告说，我们去非洲卖鞋，一双鞋都卖不出去的。我们不能在非洲开店。

然而，中国的营销高管表示，他们应该让非洲人都穿上鞋，并作为第一个进入者主导非常市场。

他们中国人在发展和商业领域的态度更加积极

The poor and needy countries around the world are fade up of with evil bat eating 's debt traps, exploitations, and briberies. They have now started serving quit Chinese notices by either killing or warning bat eaters. Examples are Pakistani Baluchistan and POK, and now this small poor country. More countries are waiting to throw these Satans out of their country.

世界上的穷国正逐渐消失，取而代之的是债务陷阱、剥削和贿赂。

他们现在已经开始发出告示要求离开

巴基斯坦俾路支省和巴基斯坦人民解放军，以及现在这个贫穷的小国就是例子。

越来越多的国家正等着把这些撒旦赶出自己的国家。

Mmmm

No wonder this will be result if anyone swindles othes resources. CHINA is well known for this.

难怪，有人诈骗其他资源，结果会是这样。他们这方面是出了名的

Pangamba Meitei

African countries are deeply associated with China in development process. USA and West mercenaries armies may be behind the sabotage and killing. They have already misleading campaign against Chinese investment and infrastructure projects. Because of Chinese investment, African countries are develo leaps and bounds.

非洲国家在发展进程中与中国保持着密切的联系。

美国和西方雇佣军可能是破坏和杀戮的幕后黑手。

他们已经对中国的投资和基础设施项目发起了破坏运动。

在中国投资的拉动下，非洲国家的经济正在突飞猛进地发展

This is really interesting to me, though I'm not sure what it might mean.

“然而，最初被一些人指责为此次袭击的反叛联盟在当天晚些时候发表了一份声明。在没有提供证据的情况下，它指责瓦格纳集团的俄罗斯雇佣军是暴力事件的幕后黑手。”

不知道，这可能意味着什么。

BBTB2

Probably because 1.) the Chinese and Russians are supposed to be friends and 2.) why are there Chinese workers and Wagner groups in a mine in Africa

可能是因为1.）中国人和俄罗斯人应该是朋友，2.）为什么非洲的一个矿场里有中国工人和瓦格纳集团

Legeto

China is mining all around the world. There is a huge push in Chile between China and America to get mining rights and Chile on their side right now.

中国正在世界各地采矿。在智利，中国和美国之间正在大力争夺采矿权，智利现在也站在他们一边。

DreamingIntoTheVoid

Russia has mines in Africa too. They use natural resources to launder money.

China is also causing a whole ton of water pollution hunting for gold in Africa as well. From just the shear quantity of water it takes to pan through dirt and how all that sediment ends up in rivers. To toxc forever chemicals that other more complicated extraction methods use and are put in to the water supply. A lot of which are illegal operations that even more legitimate authorities are taking measures against.

俄罗斯在非洲也有矿场。他们利用自然资源洗钱。

中国在非洲寻找黄金也造成了大量的水污染。穿过泥土所需的剪切水量以及沉积物最终流入河流。其他更复杂的提取方法，使用供水系统的有毒永久性化学物质。其中许多是非法行动，当局正在采取措施加以打击。

Their plan is going to back fire so bad when these countries just tell China “fuck off we’re not paying you back”. China can barley project power to their neighbors yet alone a massive continent thousands of miles away

当这些国家对中国说“滚蛋，我们不会还钱的”时，中国向邻国投送力量都费力，更不用说几千英里之遥的非洲大陆了

Pyjama_Llama_Karma

The Chinese state wants to build an oil refinery there now, too.

中国人现在也想在那里建一座炼油厂。

Newone1255

They can bribe them all they want but unless China is able to militarily defend any land local leaders give them it’s useless. China was banking on being able to use Wagner and other Russian mercenaries to be their muscle but that’s falling apart with Russias current war. If you want to be a colonial power you need the strength to back it up.

他可以随心所欲地贿赂他们，不过除非中国能够在军事上保卫当地领导人给他们的土地，否则一切都是徒劳的。中国寄希望于能够利用瓦格纳和其他俄罗斯雇佣军作为他们的保护力量，但随着俄乌战争打得如火如荼，这个幻想正在破灭。如果你想成为一个殖民大国，你需要力量来作为支撑。

China has plenty of its own "private" groups.

中国有很多自己的“民营”团体。

TimmyIo

China is doing this thing called the Belt and Road they want to make a highway across Russia China (Mongolia I think?) and Africa.

They're making big investments in Africa in the form of loans

Purely speculation but very interesting situation going on over in Africa right now. They can't afford to say no even though everything is pointing toward this is a bad idea.

中国正在推进“一带一路”计划，他们想修建一条横跨俄罗斯、中国（我想是蒙古？）和非洲的高速公路。

他们以贷款的形式在非洲进行巨额投资

纯粹是猜测，但现在非洲正在上演的值得玩味。尽管一切的发展，表明这样做是个坏主意，但他们不能拒绝

gamergeek

As an American I’d like to point out that exploiting and oppressing countries tends to build some animosity.

Maybe I can get a Brit or Indian to back me up here.

作为一个美国人，我想指出，剥削和压迫其他国家，往往会引发当地人的一些敌意。

也许我可以找到一个英国人或印度人会支持我的说法。

Lanky-Ordinary927

Indian here, can confirm

我就是印度人，我可以证实你说的

windythought34

Native American here, it's true...

我就是美国原住民，这是真的。

Just to preface my post, i've read very little about the Central African Republic, and tbh i don't want to spend hours upon hours reading up on their history . So everything Im saying is not completely educated on their country and history, just going by what i've seen and learned about through my life.

The whole situation is sad in the CAR. So many mineral mines available there, but the country is so poor due to bad governance and rebellion, nevermind other countries(ex: china here) coming in and borderline stealing their minerals.

In a perfect world a country like China, or the US would invest resources into countries like this, build them up, help them run and use that as a basis for creating not only an alliance but potential material deals for imports/exports. Unfortunately, as history has show, the only way a country like this is going to see any real improvements is going to be an invasion from a country like China or the US under false pretenses.

我对中非共和国的了解很少，而且我不想花几个小时去了解他们的历史。我所说的一切并不是完全基于他们的国家和历史，只是根据我一生所看到和学到的东西。

中非共和国的整个局势令人悲伤。那里有丰富的矿产，但由于治理不善和叛乱，这个国家非常贫穷，更不用说其他国家（比如中国）来挖他们的矿产了。

一个完美的世界里，中国或美国这样的国家会向这些国家投入资源，帮助它们运营，并以此为基础，不仅建立联盟，而且建立潜在的进出口物质交易。

China getting a taste of "colonialism"

中国尝到了“殖民*义”的味道

goldticketstubguy

The sad reality is that every nation believes they are the savior.

可悲的现实是，每个国家都认为自己是救世主

Crimbobimbobippitybo

China is going to learn the same lesson every other wannabe colonial power learned in places like CAR: you can invest, but it doesn't matter.

You will eventually be driven out, and they'll keep the money, the mine, the belts and roads, and ports.

以前的殖民大国在中非共和国学到的教训，中国也会领教到的：你可以投资，不过没关系

你最终会被赶出去，他们会留着钱、矿场、皮带、道路和港口

Level-Blueberry-2707

All the information I've seen in these chinese run mines shows they treat the locals extremely poorly and look down on them.

我了解到的信息是，他们对待当地人极其恶劣，看不起他们。

turbo-unicorn

Wait, what? But chinese state propaganda says the chinese passport makes you bulletproof. This is clearly fake news.

等等，媒体宣传说，中国护照是你的保护符。这显然是假的

Tiger-Billy

After one belt one road's side effects, most African countries that joined the project didn't show friendly behaviors toward Chinese people who live there.

“一带一路”的负面影响，大多数参与该项目的非洲国家对居住在那里的中国人没有表现出友好的行为。
