China says most of its workers have started returning from Syria as conditions there worsen, although about 100 people are still there looking after projects. Commerce Minister Chen Deming told a news conference on Wednesday that the remaining workers were looking after property assets and projects, but did not say where in Syria they were or how many were leaving. He says once the situation in Syria stabilizes the Chinese workers will return to restart the projects. When Libya began splintering in the civil war that eventually overthrew Moammar Gadhafi last year, 30,000 Chinese were working in the country. The Chinese military orchestrated a large-scale evacuation, sending ships and planes.
