THE Chinese Embassy in Harare has accused the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) of damaging strong bilateral relations that exist between Zimbabwe and the Far East giant.
It said the labour body was doing this through a systematic campaign aimed at unnecessarily damaging the image of the Asian nation.
Last month, ZCTU publicised images and details exposing slave-like working conditions at a Norton-based ceramic tiles manufacturer, Sunny Yi Feng.
The workers at the factory, the ZCTU said, were poorly paid and live in over-crowded accommodation exposing them to chemicals, which cause serious respiratory complications among abuses.
