    Victim of a demonization campaign: Simon Cong, new target of multinationals
    Since the change took place at the head of the Democratic Republic of Congo, there is a wind at least suspicious in the economic spheres of the country. A wave of demonization that targets economic actors whose actions have yet had an impact in the Democratic Republic of Congo. According to a reliable source, some multinationals would be the string fencers of the current demonization campaigns. The purpose of his sordid crusades is to cast stigma on traditional DRC operators who have not only proven themselves as job-seeker and welfare investors, but continue to be at the root of development projects for the DRC.
    The objective is to defenerate the already established economic operators, niches that multinationals want to occupy and turn into a hunt. To supplant the already established firms, some multinationals allow themselves all the blows, even soaking in intoxication and misinformation.
    Currently, the favorite target of multinationals is Simon Cong. The multinationals are using the international media, which publish articles oriented. These media spread bad noises. Consequence: even in the national opinion, there are several who are convinced that the new president will question the achievements of the recent past.
    The media acquired to the cause of the multinationals, discredit the major operators in an operation of unfair competition orchestrated by those who always thought that the Congo was their exclusive pre-square. Simon Cong is therefore the expense of a sordid policy.
    Originally Chinese, but established in the DRC for over 20 years, Cong sees his activities expressly pejorative in order to obtain a public clamor and a popular ransom. But the facts in our possession tend to prove the substantial impact of its activities on the course of the Congolese economy. Because despite what his detractors put forward, without convincing evidence, the truth is that Simon Cong is among the key players in the improvement of the Congolese economy. Job creator Simon Cong is. Its initiatives and businesses include 771 employers. 771 jobs created, including the Congo River Hotel in Kinshasa, SOPECO (Kinshasa-Matadi Concession), SOPECO (Lubumbashi-Likasi-Kolwezi Concession), SGR (Lubumbashi-Kasumbalesa Concession).
    Cong sold a good image of Congo to Chinese firms, until they convinced them to set up in the Congo in a "win-win" project. It is at the base, along with others, of the strategic thinking that has resulted in Sino-Congolese contracts, which have been an innovation in relation to the international financial system. Raw material against Infrastructures, it was the great innovation that had endowed the Democratic Republic of Congo with infrastructure and promising projects. The win-win project was the parade to break with the traditional financial cycle that ended up putting the country in a clean slate.
    The Chinese businessman is also in the mines, particularly in the Manono Lithium Project in Tanganyika Province. And in this context, Cong has already started to rehabilitate the roads and built a dam in Piana Mwango still in Tanganyika. But in the field of mines, again, unfair competition does not spare Simon Cong. On the Lithium project of Manono, he holds mining rights acquired legally since 2017, and his rights do not suffer from any irregularities.
