Chinese government warns companies on Ethiopian labour abuseThe Chinese embassy in Ethiopia has summoned Chinese companies operating in the country to warn them about their treatment of workers. The Chinese embassy confirmed that the meeting had taken place, but declined to say what had been discussed, reports local news site The Reporter. Quoting unnamed sources, The Reporter said some of the companies were warned about the consequences of their actions. Ethiopian workers at the stadium project have accused CSCEC of poor treatment of its 200 Chinese and 650 local workers. In particular, they claimed that Ethiopian workers were not given personal protective equipment such as boots with steel toecaps or gloves, whereas Chinese workers were fully kitted out.
