PNG Prime Minister Marape shores up economic partnerships in China

Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape visited China to advance economic partnerships, discussing green energy, agriculture, and controversial mining projects including the Frieda River gold and copper mine and Ramu Nickel Mine expansion. Experts warn that Chinese investment should not compromise environmental protection and workers' rights, citing the Ramu Nickel Mine's poor record on occupational health and a 2019 toxic waste catastrophe.
