7 million people are displaced in the Democratic People’s Republic of Congo because of fighting over blood minerals like cobalt. China is directly buying these minerals contributing to this... My question is do you think the US, EU or UN should intervene in these situations?

GTFO with this imperial sinophobic bullshit. It's still the zionists and USAian fascists...

"sinophobic"

What makes it sinophobic? China directly dumps money towards the cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of Congo. These activities are often non-compliant or entirely illegal. The money also reinforces the actions and incentives violence for control. You're just wanting to grant China a pass? Exactly what I'm talking about.

Also didn't answer my question. Should the US, UN or EU intervene?
