Hot take, but that's why I'm fed up with "anti-colonial" activists who act like it's time to just drop our responsibilities on the former colonies and now "third world" countries.
It has been shown many times before, with this shitshow being the latest example, that most "third world" countries simply do not have a legal system in place that can cope with rich Western or new-rich Asian exploiteers. In turn, that means that yes, Western countries need to step in on all levels until these countries have robust enough systems to stand up for their interests (and not those of rich "businessmen" and scammers) on their own!
