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.
So are you saying that because the artisinal/manual mining is falling, and if China owns most of it, then it would follow that (if they really are responsible) that they're responsible for things getting better.
Just typing it out to conceptualize, I'm pretty sure that's what you're saying and I agree then.
