A panel of experts testified to the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Tuesday that Chinese companies mining for "green" energy minerals throughout Africa – particularly in resource-rich countries such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), are creating a "catastrophic and unacceptable" situation for locals.

Experts testified to Congress about the "catastrophic and unacceptable" situation in Africa, where Chinese companies exploit mines for "green" energy minerals, leading to environmental disasters and child slavery. As many as 40,000 children are forced to mine cobalt for Chinese buyers, facing dangerous conditions and health risks. China's dominance in the mining sector, particularly in the DRC, is linked to unrest, corruption, and human rights abuses, putting America at a disadvantage regarding critical mineral supply.
