Rwanda-Congo Conflict, Chinese Infrastructure, Mineral Wealth

The hosts argue that the conflict is actually a proxy battle over the Congo's vast mineral wealth, with China heavily invested in Rwandan infrastructure like the Kigali Convention Center. They suggest the U.S. is attempting to push "the Chinas" out of Africa using various diplomatic and military pressures.
