According to an audit report of the China-Democratic Republic of Congo contract involving infrastructure and minerals barter system, the latter has been short-changed.
The audit alleges that China has to date exploited mining resources worth $10 billion in the DRC.
In contrast, it has only built infrastructure estimated at about $822 million.
The report says the DRC has made available deposits with the estimated value of more than $90 billion.
On the ground, however, there is no visibility on the infrastructure Chinese companies should have delivered.
The DRC-China Convention has been in force since 2008.
It should provide Congolese mining deposits to China in order to build several modern infrastructures throughout the DRC.
