Angola, with tens of thousands ex-patriate Chinese workers, is seeing a series of "mafia-style" violent attacks targeting the Chinese. From the BBC:
Last month robbers reportedly poured boiling water on three Chinese workers in Luanda.
In September businessman Xu Tonggou was murdered trying to resist a robbery.
On the same day six armed men robbed the offices of a construction company, beating workers with batons and threatening them with AK-47s.
Mariana van Zeller went to Angola to look at growing Chinese investment in the country in Chinatown, Africa.
