别管⋯⋯ ，都⋯⋯
bié guǎn ⋯ ⋯ ， dōu ⋯ ⋯
Using '别管...都...' to emphasize that a condition has no effect
Explanation
别管…都… is a structure of the conditional compound sentence (a sentence with two or more clauses linked by conjunctions) expressing "no matter…, always…": however the condition or object changes, the result stays the same. 别管 (bié guǎn) means "regardless of, no matter."
别管 (bié guǎn) + [condition with an indefinite element such as 谁 shéi "who," 什么 shénme "what," 怎么 zěnme "how"] + ，都 (dōu) + [result]. 都 in the following clause is obligatory to emphasize the invariability.
in colloquial speech (everyday spoken language), when you want to state decisively that circumstances do not change the result.
别管…都… is the colloquial variant, strong and decisive, of 不管…都… (bùguǎn…dōu…, "no matter… always…"); they mean the same, but 别管 is more everyday and carries a more emphatic, resolute tone.
forgetting 都 (or 也) in the following clause; the 别管 clause lacking an indefinite interrogative element (谁/什么/怎么…), which keeps the sentence from becoming a "no matter" clause; using 别管 in formal writing (you should use 无论/不管).
