Chinese people in Algeria

The Chinese in Algeria are a group of Chinese nationals numbering an estimated 40,000 people residing in Algeria.^[1] The recent migration of Chinese to Algeria is driven by commerce with most Chinese nationals working on infrastructure projects.^[1]

Tensions between Chinese merchants and locals in Algiers flared up in August 2009 when there was a clash in the Algiers suburb of Bab Ezzouar, sparked by a confrontation between a migrant and a shop owner that drew in 100 people.^[2]
