The Ghana Chinese Chamber of Commerce has expressed concern about the occupation of the Big Stone Mining - Company Limited, a wholly-owned Chinese company operating at Bogoso in the Western Region, by a group of policemen.
 
The commerce in a petition to the Attorney General sighted by Peacefmonline.com said the frustrations on some Chinese companies in the country are “unfortunate”.
 
According to them, Chinese companies add value to the Ghana economy – hence, there is a need for the state to protect them.
