Résumé

This paper briefly deciphers the level of DRC's dependence on China. It considers it from the point of view of trade volume, the construction of economic and social infrastructures, the promotion of social mobility and the transfer of skills, and solidarity in the fight against COVID-19. Finally, this article proposes a reading grid which, from the outset, refutes any fixed opinion and any definitive point of viewby apprehending the concept of DRC's dependence on China from three (3) logical angles: a means of circumventing Western dependence (1); which consequently places DRC in a "complex dilemma" (2), and exposes it to illconsidered risks, especially in times of crisis (3). Hence the need for DRC to anticipate not only to avoid collisions between its main strategic partners, but above all to reduce its economic and even structural dependence on them [both "conservative" and "progressive"] by diversifying its economy and its partners.
