暂停非洲矿业交易，中国风险承受能力是否已达极限？
Is China’s risk tolerance reaching its limit with pause of African mine deal? - South China Morning Post
监管层对紫金矿业收购案的风控审查发出明确信号：在非洲高危地区开展大型矿业并购，国内审批的安全门槛正在提高，中企需前置更详尽的安保与政治风险应对方案。
中国监管机构搁置了紫金矿业对加拿大Allied Gold公司40亿美元的收购计划，以审查潜在风险。该交易此前已获加拿大和西非监管机构批准，协议截止日被延长至7月29日。Allied Gold的主要矿业资产位于非洲，其最大矿山为马里Sadiola金矿，该国正遭受日益严重的武装袭击。
As China’s relationship with African countries has deepened, the country’s influence is spreading into more areas. In the latest of a series of articles, Dulue Mbachu investigates the extent of Chinese investments in the continent and Beijing’s growing wariness about their security.
Chinese regulators balked at Zijin Mining’s planned US$4 billion acquisition of Canadian company Allied Gold, placing it on hold to scrutinise the potential risks.
As a result, the agreement for the deal, already approved by Canadian and West African regulators, was extended to July 29, according to the Toronto-registered company.
Allied Gold’s most important mining assets are in Africa, with the biggest being the Sadiola mine in Mali, a country which is under increasing attacks from jihadist insurgents.
The company’s other assets, in Ethiopia and Ivory Coast, are relatively safer but nevertheless are located in regions that are broadly prone to conflict and other political risks.
China’s decision to suspend the acquisition of Allied Gold signals a growing wariness in Beijing about the rising risks and security costs of its overseas investments, according to observers.
