A very very grave development that must be stopped.
I haven't copied and paste all the relevant so you can seek and discern for one's self.
It just can't be a good long term project for an already ailing planet.
Speak out against this beast.

its not restricted to the sea, although it was instructive that only 2 countries recently abstained against aggressive exploitation of the antarctic; russia and china.
mining for cobalt, among dozens of other minerals, has been going on in africa for 20 years, aggressively pursued by china, which has been extracting colossal amounts of resources with zero regard for the human environmental consequences, via debt-trap diplomacy.
the one-party dictatorship needs raw material to sustain its fraudulent economy, and african 'leaders' are only too happy to oblige. the rapacity involved is staggering, but almost nobody speaks of it. destruction on a scale unimaginable in the west is inflicted on africans. king leopold was benign by comparison.
aside from the grisly human cost, the slaughter and export of precious animals for use as status symbols and 'medicine' is an affront to reason, but they are not punished for it. why not? i would wager that if 90% of rhino horn, elephant ivory, and and animal body-parts ended up in the uk, the resulting outrage would end it overnight.
sadly, a one-party state has no care for public opinion, and locks up those who complain about it, as they are doing now in hong kong, to a chorus of silence from freedom-lovers

Agree with above but taking it to a new level by mining the sea bed, its despicable.
It will destroy the ecology, kill loads of vital creatures and organisms completely ruining the food chain and will not be reversed for centuries possibly, if at all.
God only knows the hidden damage that may arise.Ironically all in the name of modern technologies that will save the ozone, such utter codswallop.
