There is a large community of Chinese migrants residing in the Republic of Congo.
Several Chinese engineering firms work in Congo as contractors for major infrastructure projects and employ Chinese construction workers as a part of the overall workforce. At a Beijing Construction Engineering Group construction site in March 2012 in Brazzaville, 6 Chinese workers were killed and dozens injured when a blast occurred after a fire at a munitions depot devastated the adjacent neighborhood.[1]
