The expansion of Chinese companies in Africa as poor countries such as Madagascar has brought development opportunities, but has also raised a number of issues. China is Madagascar's largest trading partner, but with the increasing Chinese investment scale, local rivalries, conflict is more and more concentrated. Recently, a Chinese gold mines forced to evacuate in local protests.
On October 8, United Kingdom broadcasting company (BBC) Chinese website had reported that a small town in Madagascar, because local people held protest demonstrations led to temporary closure of a Chinese gold mining company. According to Agence France-Presse report on December 19, the Chinese gold mines eventually withdrew. Suamahamani the inhabitants of the small town of Madagascar, has been in use since June this year held a demonstration on Thursday to protest the Chinese nine mining companies mining gold, the destruction of their farms, and asked the company to withdraw. Threaten farmland's mining is one reason for the locals are hostile to the Chinese, but with the expansion of Chinese investment in the horse and the influx of Chinese goods, such hostility is also increasing and spreading across the horse.
But that is not always the case. Agence France-Presse in the day to sell land to Chinese farmers and hired local miners interviewed, many said they wanted to sell land to Chinese companies as a way to earn a lot of money, but he was betrayed by their peers as a traitor to the country, and this made them feel very sorry.
And employed in nine local miners, the terms "those who incited people to hatred of Chinese outside, this is the result of political manipulation. ”
No matter for what reason, in the face of strong protests in Chinese-funded enterprises may not retreat. Its spokesman said: "as a business that they have every right to stay here, but for the local harmony and stability, they can only choose to leave. ”
Chinese companies left, but it doesn't end there. China has nearly 800 companies in Madagascar, Madagascar's largest trading partner. Such an investment for a 90% per cent of the population lives below the poverty line is a very good development opportunities for countries, but Chinese people flock also led to some tense situations. In 2011, two employees in the Chinatown area of the capital of Madagascar had been beaten by their employers in Asia, which led to a riot. Three years later, and six persons and domestic violence related mulundawa sugar factory death.
To this end, the Chinese Embassy in Madagascar has issued a warning to authorities, demanding tougher sanctions these acts discredit the image of Chinese investors.
Madagascar's ruling party leaders have growing anti-China sentiment expressed his concerns "we must prevent them from deteriorating into xenophobia. ”

抗议活动不断 中国开采金矿的公司被迫从马达加斯加撤离|抗议_新闻资讯
>中资金矿被迫撤离
>政府军和抗议民众的冲突
中资企业在非洲的扩张为像马达加斯加这样的贫穷国家带来了发展机遇，但相应的也引发了一些问题。中国是马达加斯加最大的贸易伙伴，但随着中国的投资规模愈来愈大，当地的对抗、抵触情绪也越来越浓。近日，一座中资金矿就被迫在当地的抗议声中撤离。
今年10月8日，英国广播公司(BBC)中文网就曾报道，在马达加斯加的一个小镇，因为当地民众连续举行抗议示威，导致一家中国开采金矿的公司暂时关闭。而据法新社12月19日的报道，这座中资金矿最终撤离了。马达加斯加苏阿玛哈玛尼小镇上的居民，自今年6月起就不断在每周四举行示威，抗议中国的九星矿业公司在当地挖掘金矿，破坏他们的农田，并要求该公司撤离。威胁到农田的采矿活动是当地人敌视中资的原因之一，而随着中国在马投资规模的扩大和中国商品的涌入，这种敌意也在逐渐增强并在全马范围内蔓延。
但情况也并非都是如此。法新社在当天对将土地卖给中资企业的农民和受雇的当地矿工进行了采访，很多农民表示他们想通过将土地出售给中资企业的方式来赚一大笔钱，但如今却被他们的同伴当成了出卖国家的叛徒，这让他们感到非常后悔。
而受雇于九星的当地矿工则直言“那些外面的人鼓动当地人仇恨中国人，这都是政治操纵的结果。”
可无论是出于什么样的原因，在强大的抗议声浪面前中资企业不得不退缩。它的发言人表示：“虽然作为一个企业它们完全有权利留在这里，但为了当地和谐与稳定，它们只能选择离开。”
中资企业离开了，但这一切并不会就此结束。中国在马达加斯加有着近800家企业，是马达加斯加最大的贸易伙伴。这种投资对于一个90%的人口都生活在贫困线以下的国家来说是非常好的发展机遇，可中国人的蜂拥而至也同样引发了一些紧张的局面。2011年，两名马达加斯加员工在首都的唐人街区域被他们的亚洲雇主殴打，这引发了一场骚乱。三年后，又有六人因和中资有关的穆伦达瓦糖厂暴力事件死亡。
为此，中国驻马达加斯加大使馆已向马当局发出警告，要求严厉制裁这些诋毁中国投资者形象的行为。
而马达加斯加执政党领导人也对日益增长的反华情绪表达了自己忧虑“我们必须防止它们恶化成仇外活动。”
