The group, suspected of illegal gold mining were released on bail on Wednesday, China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said.
Ghana has set up a team to investigate the issue, including the incident of the death of a Chinese national, Hong told reporters here.
The 101 miners were bailed after joint efforts by the Chinese foreign ministry and the Chinese embassy in the African nation, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.

Hong said the Chinese embassy will deal with the follow-up issues of the incident.
