Zambian commentators have condemned China, after its ambassador got involved in the campaign for this month's presidential election.

Political Analyst Michael Banda said Ambassador Li Baodong's comments were "shocking and unacceptable".

Mr Li had said Chinese investors were "scared" to go to Zambia in case opposition leader Michael Sata won.

Mr Sata has said foreign companies, including Chinese, mistreat workers and has also met Taiwanese businessmen.

China regards Taiwan as a renegade province and cuts diplomatic ties with any country which recognises Taiwan's independence.
