Chinese Companies Required to Hold Sending More Workers to Israel

DISCUSSION

CHINESE

SEND TO FRIEND

China's foreign trade authorities suggested Chinese companies suspend plans to send workers to Israel after a suicide bombing in Jerusalem, which killed two Chinese workers and injured another two last Friday (April 12).

An official with the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation expressed sympathy and condolences for the workers and their families on Tuesday while voicing the ministry's concerns over safety in Israel.

"Under the current circumstances, we suggest companies that have signed contracts to send laborers to Israel should suspend the plans," the official said.

The official asked all Chinese companies which are carrying out construction projects overseas and their employees to pay attention to safety, and to be well prepared for unexpected incidents.

Lin Chunmei, 34, and Cai Xianyang, 32, both from Putian of coastal Fujian Province, were killed at a bus station near the crowded Mahne-Yehuda open market on Friday (April 12) afternoon. Another two Chinese were seriously injured.

The death toll quickly rose to seven with about 70 injured in the latest of a series of suicide bombings against Israeli civilians.
