tagesschau, German FAQ: EU bereitet Strafzölle auf chinesische E-Autos vor
China unterstützt die heimische Industrie beim Bau von E-Autos mit hohen Subventionen. Die EU wirft Peking Wettbewerbsverzerrung vor und arbeitet an Strafzöllen. Droht ein Handelskrieg? Und was bedeutet das für Autokäufer?
florianschlund, German Die #Mineralölindustrie hat ihre gesetzlichen #Klimaschutz-Auflagen offenbar mit vorgetäuschten #CO2-Projekten in #China erfüllt - zertifiziert von deutschen Prüfinstituten, genehmigt vom Umweltbundesamt. Das zeigen ZDFfrontal-Recherchen.

skykiss, For them, it is a pleasure to burn. We all know who we are dealing with. Russia is run by men who want to make it a norm – burning lives, destroying cities and villages, dividing people, and erasing national borders through war.
There is no nation that can stop such war alone, unaided. World leaders’ engagement is needed.
Does Russia want dialogue? Ukraine has the world’s largest experience of lies from Russia during negotiations. That’s exactly why global efforts are needed. The Global Peace Summit of the leaders whom Russia won’t be able to deceive.
I am appealing to the leaders of the world who are still aside from the global efforts of the Global Peace Summit – to President #Biden @potus the leader of the #US, and to President #Xi, the leader of #China. Please, show your leadership in advancing peace. Real peace, not just a pause between the strikes.
Is anyone else impressed by #Zelenskyy giving a speech in English, under extreme stress? That building is still burning. Please, boost 🙏 🇺🇦
#UkrainePresident Zelenskyy ask for America and China to join 80 countries of the world at the global peace summit President Zelenskyy is standing in a burning building that russian barbarians hit with a missile and killed peaceful Ukrainians, he is giving a speech in English requesting the world to join together at the global peace summit to stop Putin's barbaric genocide of Ukrainians. Please, maximum boost. UKRAINIANS need our SUPPORT. THANK YOU 🇺🇦 #StandWithUkraine #Ukraine

f800gecko, The Chinese are just as deeply xenophobic and racist as the rest of us.
Their leadership and corporate captains also require a uniformly obedient and docile population in which ‘deviance’ and the subscription to other values can be stamped out in favour of enshitification, mass production, and the lowest, cheapest, most discardable form of labour to run it so long as human labour proves necessary.
glynmoody, @f800gecko and there's nothing to push back there...

hanse_mina, While the Russian authorities boast that they were able to replace the “toxic” #dollar and #euro by transferring a significant part of transactions to the #yuan, the Central Bank is sounding the alarm. For normal operation, companies must be able to attract financing in yuan, but Russian banks are in short supply. #China does not provide them, so you can only rely on the Central Bank and the savings of Russian companies and citizens.
msquebanh, #China once had an #InternetArchive run by #researchers at #PekingUniversity that allowed users to perform keyword searches of more than 2.5 billion #historical web pages from millions of websites in #Chinese.
Archived news articles about events from just a few years ago are no longer showing up on internet searches in China, cutting off access to the country's recent history from all but the most resourceful researchers..

justafrog, @msquebanh Objective reality is the greatest enemy of any autocrat.
They can't let it be easy to look at.
Of course, the end result will be that they can't correct mistakes anymore, because it's not permitted to acknowledge any.

br00t4c, Malaysia PM says his country keeps good ties with US but not China phobia, wants to engage both
ramede, @br00t4c ... a large percentage of Americans want to have good ties with Malaysia and China and are tired of our politicians & main stream medias China phobia.
Unlike the US, they do not have military bases plastered all around the globe.
The other percentage of Americans have adopted the propaganda manufactured acceptance that China is our enemy, .... which is any country we, the US, do not control.

jemmesedi, This suggestion seems sensible to me and could spark a useful global debate.
However, I'm neither Chinese nor that well informed on Sinophobia, so I would be keen to hear comments from anybody more clued up than I am.
A working definition of Sinophobia would improve the China debate | Lowy Institute
zdl, @jemmesedi If you are blaming China for doing things that you yourself are doing without a second thought (like mass surveillance, Australia, USA, UK!) YOU ARE A FUCKING MORON. (Oh, and you're being racist.)
If you mistrust a social media application solely because of where it is headquartered YOU ARE A FUCKING MORON. (Oh, and you're being racist.)
If you whine about how "hard" it is to get a visa to China, despite it being ten times harder the other way YOU ARE A RACIST MORON.
🧵 (2/n)
zdl, @jemmesedi If you point to China as a "massive greenhouse emitter" despite its per-capita emissions being a quarter of yours AND despite most of its emissions being in service of your insatiable appetite for cheap consumer goods, YOU ARE A FUCKING MORON. And probably a racist.
This list could go on forever. But given the common element in all of them, the term "Sinophobia" is perfectly adequate, especially given the history of the Yellow Peril laws in much of the white world.

hanse_mina, By deepening economic relations with both #China and #Russia, #Orbán hopes to give #Hungary an oversized say in global decision-making. And his “friendship” with #Putin is feeding the ever-growing clientelism within his government and funding his cronies.
For example, while other European countries have been downgrading the size of their staff at Russian embassies and consulates, staff numbers at the Russian Embassy in Budapest are on the rise.

msquebanh, @maddad Chinese people are still taking great risks to demonstrate against oppression/censorship - knowing the risks.
I'm very grateful for their bravery.
maddad, Yes, me too. I had been to HK in 2017 and 2018 for a couple of weeks each time to visit some friends when I was on my way to VN.
My friends were English teachers in a private school there.
They had been there for 10 yrs at least and really liked it, but left a few months after my last visit because they didn't feel safe anymore.
The Chinese censors threw almost everything they were teaching out, and were quite ruthless about it.
