The DRC takeover** is more than expected, and China is in a difficult position.
Recently, the DRC proposed a further $7 billion compromise to China. The move has put great economic pressure on China, but it has also brought political challenges. The DRC has a lot of copper and cobalt mines, and it knows that China desperately needs this field, so it has been inflating its own ** and making China pay more through loopholes in regulations and contracts. China must defend its rights and interests for the time being, but the DRC will not be satisfied, and they want China to back down more.
In response, China must reassess the pros and cons of collaboration and make appropriate compromises based on its investment in the DRC, as well as its investment in people and materials, so that all previous efforts are not in vain. But the DRC is still not satisfied, and it has threatened to suspend the DRC's Huagang mining operations and assess the value of minerals mined in China. Whether China can maintain its own rights and interests in the DRC and maintain its business activities has become a matter of concern.
The United States provoked disputes, and China-Congo relations deteriorated.
The role played by the United States in China-Congo relations cannot be ignored. Recently, at the U.S.-Africa summit, Biden declared Africa the "southern region of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization" and promised $55 billion in aid to his allies. The move has sparked a global rethinking about the risks of partnering with China, especially for countries that export products to China. Perhaps the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is blackmailing China, and the United States is also behind it.
U.S. intervention has made China-Congo cooperation uncertain and dangerous, and countries such as the DRC have become increasingly distancing themselves from China. If the DRC side continues to incite and provoke a conflict between China and the DRC, China will be even more resolute in its opposition. If that is the case, China will have to think carefully about whether it is possible for the United States to cut off its energy supply chain and respond accordingly.
In the face of the destructive actions of the United States, it is necessary to be cautious in foreign investment.
China is a huge foreign investment country, and it must be vigilant against the damaging actions of the United States. At present, the contradictions between China and the United States are intensifying, and there is a trend of "decoupling". If China does not engage in direct conflict with the United States in some areas, the United States will use all means to suppress China or freeze all Chinese assets in the United States. China needs to think strategically in the face of the U.S. threat and find ways to undermine U.S. global domination.
From the perspective of China-Congo relations, China should not blindly adopt a defensive strategy when dealing with China-Congo relations, but should respond in a more proactive and proactive way. Whether it is following the path of the rights of the International Court of Justice or building its own infrastructure projects, China should show the DRC its strength and determination. If China wants to make substantial progress in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and other African countries, it must crush the arrogance of its opponents.
Conclusion. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has put forward more than expected, which has put the cooperation between China and the Democratic Republic of the Congo into a difficult time. China should protect its own interests and conduct business activities in the DRC. At the same time, China should also realize that the United States has provoked incidents and increased cooperation between China and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, so it must take corresponding countermeasures. For China, outbound investment is a very critical strategy, but it also needs to be vigilant and responsive to the destructive actions of the United States. China should not be shaken by the unreasonableness of certain countries, but should firmly defend its own rights and interests. This is the only way for China's OFDI to achieve great success.
