No matter ... with 不管…都 — Chinese grammar (HSK 4)
不管 + Question word / A还是B,(Subject) + 都 + ...
不管 (bùguǎn) means "no matter what / who / how", and the second clause almost always contains 都 (or 也) to say the result stays the same. The 不管 clause must contain an open question: a question word like 什么 or 怎么, an A还是B choice, or a verb + 不 + verb. You cannot follow 不管 with a plain statement the way English "regardless of the fact that" works.
