Abstract


In order to support its economic growth, China has turned to Africa, particularly to the DR Congo, the pre-square of the Western powers. Its breakthrough in the DR Congo has, in recent years, made this country a terrain of geopolitical, geostrategic and even geo-economic confrontation or rivalry between China and the DR Congo's Western partners including USA.This article examines the impact of these rivalries on the sustainable development of the DR Congo. At the end of the analysis, the author estimated that in order to avoid or reduce conflicts between actors and enable the DR Congo to benefit from its strategic resources, the Congolese state must use strategic diplomacy, which consists of encouraging the « concerted and balanced exploitation » of strategic natural resources by the various actors in confrontation. This will enable the Congolese state to adopt a centrist position and banish any idea of a bloc and to involve all actors in the development of the DR Congo.

Author Keywords: strategic natural resources, DR Congo, confrontation, actors.
