Dozens of Chinese companies, many of which are state-owned, are also building roads, telecommunications and hydropower facilities in DR Congo.

China has financed and built other large-scale infrastructure projects in DR Congo, including hydropower plants and a dry port.

Sandy Day, the Bureau of Reclamation’s chief of public affairs, said the agency “remains focused on providing essential water and hydropower to the American public across the 17 western states.”

The government says that once completed in 2030, it will help irrigate 1.06 million hectares of land, provide drinking water to 6.2 million people and generate 130MW of hydropower and solar energy.

The building runs off hydropower and a tiny wind turbine and is heated by a log burner.
