Italy’s measures are aiming at all online platforms, but given the country’s strong fashion industry they are more eying at China’s Shein and Temu as they are selling more fashion. So it seems reasonably if this is used as an example here imo.


I fully agree. That’s basically what Europe had in the 2000’s when public funds (particularly from Spain and Germany) funded primarily Chinese solar companies.


There are considerably more languages than the official 24 in the EU, and this is exactly one reason among many why the continent will grow by both strengthening cooperation within as well as welcoming new members like Moldova and Ukraine. An explanation how this can take place wouldn’t make sense, though, as magas, tankies and the like wouldn’t understand even if they wanted.


I am sorry, but did you read the article? This story has nothing to do with the Italian mafia. I don’t know why you post these links, and your remarks make no sense.


In December 2024, a video was circulating on Chinese social media that shows how China should conquer parts of Siberia up to lake Baikal.


Just in case the Commission reads this and doesn’t know:


As the famous quote goes,
“One of the most horrible features of war is that all the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.”


Russian losses in the war with Ukraine - (archived version)
Mediazona, working with the BBC’s Russian service and a team of volunteers, has been compiling and maintaining a named list of the Russian military dead. The list is built from publicly available, verifiable sources, such as social media posts by relatives, reports in local media, and statements from regional authorities. Of course, this list is not exhaustive, as not every death is publicly reported.
Addition:
The invisible army. Russian courts recognise nearly 90,000 missing soldiers as wartime claims surge
Russian courts have now received almost 90,000 claims to declare missing servicemen dead or missing, a dramatic rise that began only in mid-2024 and continues to accelerate. Courts are processing such cases far faster than we can confirm individual deaths, revealing the scale of losses the state has never publicly acknowledged.


The first steps have long been done by Russia. And it was not in love.


There is even a Wikipedia article on rUsSiAn SaBoTaGe OpErAtIonS iN eUrOpE


Is there a bit more data? What is this source?
And what is a “non-official BYD car”? Where do they get the numbers from?


“It is totally clear that this piece of legislation will not just go through without any amendments,” MEP Bernd Lange, the Parliament’s lead negotiator, told Euractiv on Friday.
We’ll see how this ends. Tariffs on US farm products are not a so important as they are around 1% on average, this is next to nothing. Industrial good imports are more pressing issues, although the much bigger problem often here is the flood of cheap imports from China (e.g., steel) rather than imports from the the U.S.
The parliament will have the final say, and its lead negotiator appears to have a realistic stance imho.


Just look at OP’s post history. This is not about ‘news’ but aims to make Europe look bad while supporting Russia and China.


This Belgium party has been conveying Russian narratives for almost 4 years now, and it refuses to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. This is just a Russian puppet.


Many of these left-wing (and right-wing) groups are paid and supported by Russia and China (just look at Germany’s AfD recent verdict, some lawsuits are still ongoing). They convey Russian talking points.


There is no other option than a complete defeat of Russia under Putin. Any other solution will only lead to more war in Ukraine and beyond.


The Workers’ Party of Belgium (PTB-PVDA) is a Marxist and socialist political party in Belgium.
The party abstained from the vote condemning the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine in the Chamber of Representatives. According to PTB MP Nabil Boukili, “the diplomatic way is the only possible way to avoid a war”.
This is pure propaganda, and it comes from the East.
Addition:
The examination of … the Workers’ Party of Belgium (PVDA) reveals significant concerns about their alignment with foreign interests, particularly Russian.
PVDA’s abstentions on key votes condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and its connections with Russian-affiliated organizations raise alarms. The party’s rhetoric often mirrors Russian propaganda, undermining the integrity of Belgian politics. Leaders such as Marc Botenga and Jos D’Haese have engaged in activities that align with Russian interests, casting doubt on the party’s commitment to Belgian sovereignty.


Is this the breaking news of the day in Europe or just another advertisement for China to earn the 50 cents?


I respectfully disagree.
The only chance for a ‘just’ and lasting peace in Ukraine and Europe is a a complete defeat of Putin’s Russia. Everything else doesn’t end the war but will extend it.
Russia must leave the whole of Ukraine.
Not that I would generally oppose higher enforceable accountability for social media platforms, but how would ‘this shit gonna drop off a cliff’ as Russia is
Even the points related to social media would not help, as Russia would certainly continue its influence campaigns.
It must be clearly said that the main problem here is Russia and its ‘decisive enabler,’ China.
