China–Republic of the Congo relations

China–Republic of the Congo relations refer to the bilateral relations between China and Republic of the Congo. On September 10, 1960, Republic of the Congo and the Republic of China (Taiwan) established diplomatic relations. On February 22, 1964, the Republic of Congo switch recognition to the People's Republic of China as the sole legitimate government of China.

Aid projects
Both China and the Republic of Congo have donated aid projects to each other. The Chinese government fully funded the construction of a EUR 52 million new parliament in the country. The government of the Republic of Congo funded the construction of the China-Congo Friendship Primary School, a school mostly for Tibetan orphans in Chindu County, Qinghai, after the 2010 Yushu earthquake destroyed the old school.

On its 2017 medical mission to Africa, the People's Liberation Army Navy hospital ship Peace Ark traveled to Republic of Congo, where its staff treated 7,508 Congolese patients. 

Development finance
Chinese state owned financial institutions have provided development finance for infrastructure construction in the Republic of Congo. Based on media reports, from 2000 to 2012 there were approximately 25 Chinese financed development finance projects in the country. These projects range from building highways linking Brazzaville and Pointe-Noire to constructing a 120 MW dam to supply power to Brazzaville.

Investments
There are several large investments by Chinese companies in the Republic of Congo. China Gold is pursuing a copper mining joint venture in the country with the Gerald Group, a US-based metals trading company. Canada-based MagIndustries, majority owned by a Chinese shareholder, owns an advanced stage potash project that has stalled due to lack of funding.

Human rights
In July 2019, UN ambassadors of 37 countries, including the Republic of the Congo, signed a joint letter to the United Nations Human Rights Council defending China's persecution of Uyghurs. The Republic of the Congo was one of 16 countries that defended China in 2019 but did not do so in 2020.

Republic of the Congo was one of 53 countries, that in June 2020, backed the Hong Kong national security law at the United Nations.
