China Deepens Economic Ties With Africa

DRC vice‑prime minister Daniel Mukoko Samba and other African officials praised long-term Chinese cooperation — citing nearly 100,000 km of roads, over 10,000 km of rail, 1.1 million jobs (2022–2024), and zero-tariff access for 53 African states — and urged deeper Chinese investment to support industrial upgrading.
