Are they responsible for the conditions there?

Of course all of the other "China is imperialist" claims are bullshit but it seems like this is true and could potentially lead to valid accusations of imperialism or at least bad regulations.

What's the reason for what's going on in the Congo, I guess? What is happening on a detailed level? I can't find many resources outside of blatantly western shit.

I know what's going on and like the bad things but I'm asking why basically. Is it China?

I can't tell if this is sarcasm.

The typical "China is imperialist because they build hospitals and bridges in other countries and benefit both parties" IS bullshit.

But I am not educated enough about this to say that this is not some form of imperialism. So I'm asking.

First of all, check your source. You can even post it here, so everyone can have a look.
