In recent time we have seen the aFC/PNC come out publicly and criticize the Chinese and their growing presence in Guyana. We have seen their agents boycotting Chinese places of business, the criticism of the Skeldon estate, the Marriott project and the hydro project.
Have they now gone a step further and now waging a criminal campaign against Chinese nationals with the tried and true "mo fiah slow fiah/robbery/raping and killing" campaign?
Chinese businesswoman shot and robbed
A 26-year-old Chinese national is currently nursing a gunshot wound to her left side hip which she sustained during a daring daylight robbery in front of her business place, Celinaβs Resort, Kitty seawall.
The victim has been identified as Zhang Ling Ling. The incident occurred around 14:00 hours as the woman was about to enter her vehicle which was parked in front of her resort when she was confronted by two men armed with a gun.
The men reportedly grabbed the businesswomanβs purse containing $30,000 and two cell phones then shot her in her hip before escaping on a motor cycle.
The woman was immediately rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) by her cousin,Wu Hauishan.
At the hospital yesterday, Wu was reluctant to speak but later claimed that he was inside the resort when he heard a gunshot and upon checking he saw his cousin sitting on the roadway.
He said that he rushed her to the hospital, where she remained a patient in a stable condition. Police in a press release stated that there is an ongoing investigation into the incident.
Last November, a Chinese couple was attacked by two youths on a CG motorbike as they were about to enter their car after locking up their store on Regent Street, in the vicinity of the now burnt out Lucky Dollar store.
The man, John Tianxiang was shot to his left side and was admitted to the GPHC where he remained in a critical condition for several weeks.
