Chinese Nationals Evacuated From Conflict-Hit Sudan

What’s new: China has evacuated the first group of its citizens from Sudan to a neighboring country as fighting between state and paramilitary forces rages on in the northeast African nation, according to the Chinese foreign ministry.

Since “abrupt changes took place in the situation in Sudan,” Beijing has been very concerned about the safety of Chinese citizens in the country, spokesperson Mao Ning said at a regular briefing Monday.
