Companies should think twice before sending staff to China, the head of the International Crisis Group said on Sunday following the arrest and detention of its employee Michael Kovrig.
国际危机组织(International Crisis Group)负责人周日表示，企业在派员到中国之前应该三思。此前该组织的雇员康明凯(Michael Kovrig)在中国被逮捕和拘留。
Speaking to the FT at the Doha business forum in Qatar, Robert Malley, chief executive of the ICG, a non-governmental organisation that aims to defuse and resolve conflicts, warned that the detention of Mr Kovrig last week was likely to have “a chilling effect” on foreigners working in China.
国际危机组织是一个旨在化解和解决冲突的非政府组织，该组织行政总裁罗伯特•马利(Robert Malley)在卡塔尔多哈商业论坛上向英国《金融时报》表示，康明凯上周被拘留很可能对在华工作的外国人产生“寒蝉效应”。
“I would think from a Chinese perspective, the last message they would want to send right now is that [foreigners] are not welcome for business, for engagement,” Mr Malley said.
“我会从中国的视角来思考，眼下他们最不希望发出的信息就是不欢迎（外国人）来做生意，来交流，”马利表示。
