Chinese people in Zimbabwe are a small community that grew in size in the 2000s as an influx of Chinese shopkeepers settled in the country.[2]

Initially the arrival of shopkeepers from China aroused hostile local attitudes with products sold by Chinese merchants derisively called zhing-zhong.[3] However, during the worst of the Zimbabwe economic crisis, Chinese shopkeepers were able to import basic goods despite the disruptive effect of hyperinflation, bringing some relief to Zimbabwean consumers.[3] The ability of Chinese stores to continue business won them the appreciation of local consumers.[3]

Under official cultural and educational cooperation agreements, there are as of 2009 three teachers and nine medical personnel from China in the country.[4]
