With Muammar el-Qaddafi’s fall from power in Libya, Chinese companies lost investments worth roughly $20 billion, which Libya’s new government has implied are unlikely to be recovered. Many Chinese were disquieted by their government’s decision to evacuate China’s citizens from Libya, and would have preferred a bolder effort to protect the countries’ commercial assets there.
中国民众对这些问题的焦虑左右着中国的政策氛围。随着卡扎菲在利比亚的倒台，中国公司损失了大约200亿美元的投资，而利比亚新政府已经暗示，这笔损失无法弥补。许多中国人对政府决定从利比亚撤侨的决定感到十分不满，他们更愿意留在利比亚，为保护中国商业资产做更大努力。
