位於東非的內陸國家，境內氣候宜人，政局穩定。2020年尚比亞是全球第一個因為疫情發生債務違約的國家。到了2022年，舉債過高的問題尚未解決，其中有三分之一債務由中國持有，至截稿前雙方正討論進行債務重整。不過這並不影響尚比亞與中國合作的意願，中國國家主席習近平甚至表示，中國已經準備好與尚比亞進行更深度的合作，其中銅礦更是重中之重。尚比亞是世界前十大銅礦生產國，其副產品鈷也是電動汽車的關鍵原料。為了發展採礦業，尚比亞計劃向IMF貸款14億美元，目標是將該國的銅產量增加兩倍以上，以及擴大綠色能源佔比，讓汽車大廠更願意購買尚比亞的金屬。

Zambia is a land-locked state in East Africa. Although a tropical country, Zambia's location on the plateau gives the land a generally moderate climate. Its famous Victoria Falls is one of the world's top three waterfalls. With relatively mature democracy and political stability, Zambia is a more urbanized developing country, compared to other sub-Saharan countries. It is rich in copper resources. The state-owned copper mining industry lacked efficiency at the beginning, but even after privatization, the volatility of copper prices has again kept investors at bay. As Zambia has not been able to tap into the full economic value of its copper mining industry over many decades, half of its population now still earn their living by farming. In recent years, the Zambian government has been working hard to save its declining economy, but has failed to reduce its heavy debt. The current national debt has reached 118% of Zambian GDP.
