BEIJING: China has called for an immediate ceasefire in Libya, in its stand that force will not resolve the conflict; but analysts say China is also extremely concerned about its investments in Libya.
Since the political unrest erupted in Libya, over 36,000 Chinese have been evacuated.
Chinese companies have either withdrawn or ceased operations, putting at stake over US$18.8 billion of Chinese investments, mainly in the energy and construction sectors.
