As Chinese companies continue to venture abroad, there are more and more reported cases of human rights violations by the businesses, with a significant number in Africa, according to a new report.

According to the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre, a London-based nonprofit, Africa has the second highest number of allegations of human rights abuses, with 26.7% of the claims recorded against Chinese companies operating abroad from 2013 to 2020. Asia-Pacific has the most with 39.6% and Asia the third-highest with 26%, the report says, describing the three regions as “high-risk.”
