Mobutu's anti-Soviet stance attracted support from whom?
Fidel Castro
Nikita Khrushchev
Mao Zedong
Ho Chi Minh
Answer
The answer is Mao Zedong, the prominent leader of the People's Republic of China. Mobutu's rejection of Soviet influence and alignment with Western powers during the Cold War resonated with Mao's own stance of self-reliance and independence from both the Soviet Union and the United States. Consequently, Mao provided diplomatic and material support to Mobutu's regime in Zaire as a manifestation of their shared anti-Soviet sentiments.
