Abstract
This research sought to address the impact and disaster caused by China’s activities in Congo Brazzaville on the environment and population. It found out that China-Congo relations are a rather more complex phenomenon; they are rooted in a long history comprising of economic, socio-political, strategic and cultural dimensions. Therefore, there is obviously a need for Congo Brazzaville to strengthen and restructure its policies and regulations in the conduct of its relations with China. It is true that China’s presence in Africa in general and Congo Brazzaville in particular is its priority on resources extraction for its global market, but this has a negative impact on the environment. In its interest of Congolese natural resources, China through Chinese companies is contributing to the destruction of some part of environment in Congo. The role of China in environmental diplomacy and environmental protection was raised. This paper examines this phenomenon as it manifests in Congo Brazzaville. It looks at the disaster and pollution caused by Chinese companies. Finally, it will make some suggestions that will be relevant to both Chinese and Congolese government for better and fruitful cooperation
