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?

foreign entity “owning” anything in the DPRK

Even the suggestion is hysterical, Pyongyang will slap anyone across the face with their BKC if they dare challenge the government’s power. Even vocally challenging the people’s governments’s power in North Korea is going to have you have a bad time.

I actively support the only legitimate government of Korea (Pyongyang) and believe that His Most Esteemed Comrade Kim il Sung (only Koreans are to refer to him as Young Leader) is one of the best leaders on earth right now but the idea that any “document” or “ownership” or anything has ANY validity in a nation where private property is banned via the constitution, is absurd. And claiming that even a friendly nation like the PRC can own anything in a nation obsessed with self-reliance is insanity.
