Thirty-one Chinese nationals, held for illegal mining in Zambia, have been deported.
China said Zambia had provided insufficient evidence to justify the arrests.
It said one of those detained in the copper mining town of Chingola was a pregnant woman.
Zambia's President Edgar Lungu visited China in 2015 to strengthen ties between the two countries
Zambian media said the Chinese were using children to steal copper from the mines.

China has invested more than $1bn (£980m) in Zambia, mainly in copper mines.
