Kabila’s regime, which began in 1997 after he overthrew Mobutu Sese Seko, was characterized by efforts to rebuild the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire) after decades of dictatorship.

China, officially known as the People's Republic of China (PRC), is the world's most populous country and has the second-largest economy globally. Located in East Asia, it is renowned for its rich cultural heritage, which spans thousands of years, as well as for its diverse landscapes, from the Great Wall and the Yangtze River to modern megacities like Beijing and Shanghai. Since its founding in 1949 under the Chinese Communist Party, China has transformed from a largely agrarian society into a global industrial powerhouse and a leader in technology, manufacturing, and infrastructure development. China plays a major role in international affairs and initiatives, such as the Belt and Road Initiative, which aims to build trade networks across Asia, Africa, and Europe. Despite economic growth and modernization, China faces challenges related to environmental sustainability, economic inequality, and balancing tradition with rapid modernization.
