The Chinese in Algeria are a group of Chinese nationals numbering an estimated 200,000 people residing in Algeria.[1][2] The recent migration of Chinese to Algeria is driven by commerce with most Chinese nationals working on infrastructure projects.[1]

Tensions between Chinese merchants and locals in Algiers flared up in August 2009 when there was a clash in the Algiers suburb of Bab Ezzouar, sparked by a confrontation between a migrant and a shop owner that drew in 1000 people.[3] A non-identified group of assailants attacked a Chinese owned company in Annaba in October 2016.
