  • UK: China could use microchips to disable smart meters in British homes, MP warns

    Jump

  • Is this right wing fearmongering?

    No, we can safely rule that out. The far-right in Europe, which is heavily supported by the Chinese Communist Party, wouldn't do anything that shines a bad light on the CCP's reputation.

  • Poland calls for EU action against AI-generated TikTok videos calling for "Polexit"

    Jump

  • The interesting thing is that any pieces only slightly critical of China are immediately censored at Tiktok, but anti-European propaganda isn't.

    Tiktok has also been spreading Chinese, Russian, and Iranian propaganda to Western audiences for years. It's really time for a ban.

  • ... only when a Chinese company has this ability.

    Could it be that the Chinese Communist Party has long been well-known to for its coercion and bullying? Should certainly be fixed for all others, but this whataboutism works only when China is criticized.

  • Survey: Confidence in French President Macron hits all-time low

    Jump

  • It is a news agency. It's a major part of the dpa (and agencies in other countries) to provide 'basic' news as their first clients are other media. In case of dpa, almost all German radio stations and newspapers are affiliated to the dpa, meaning they can use dpa news for their reports and don't need own staff for this. For many of these 'quick' news -a research company's presentation of a survey, a bank's press conference about its quarterly results, things like that - it would be too expensive to maintain their own editors.

    So to make that clear: I don't want to criticize that or drag it down. Agencies fulfill an important role in our media landscape. It's just that we shouldn't expect deep investigative research from an agency. Sometimes they do that certainly, but that's an exemption as it is not their main job.

  • Russian patriotism and military spirit are instilled in children from pre-school: the Kremlin encourages children from the age of 4, who learn to march, obey orders and handle weapons

    Jump

  • Was it good? You didn’t have a choice.

    And was it good now? Do you want this for children today?

    I am confident that there are countries in 2025 where 4-year-olds don't learn how to shoot in kindergarten.

  • Survey: Confidence in French President Macron hits all-time low

    Jump

  • dpa has frequently such 'news' ... and a 'research' company can spit something out, just for the headline.

    I agree, this is outright bullshit by any standard.

  • Russian patriotism and military spirit are instilled in children from pre-school: the Kremlin encourages children from the age of 4, who learn to march, obey orders and handle weapons

    Jump

  • Was this good? Did you also learn to handle a machine gun at the age of 4?

    Putin himself declared, “Commanders don't win wars, teachers win wars." It's pretty clear what he aims at, and it has nothing to do with peace.

    Maybe you can manage to watch a documentary about it: "Mr Nobody against Putin", follows Russian teacher Pavel Talankin's job in a school at Karabash, a poor mining town near the Ural Mountains. While recording his students Talakin also documents the Putin administration movements to control public perception during the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war. (Mr. Talankin lives now in exile.)

    Many Russian teachers don't want to do this, but they have to, Talankin says.

    It must be a horror for Russian parents to send their children to such schools.

    As an addition: The Russian "elite" - these are those who can afford the fee - is sending their children, of course, to private schools in Russia: or, if possible, to Western schools and university. Just fyi.

  • Bulgaria prepares to join eurozone amid fears of Russian-backed disinformation

    Jump

  • I don't know much specifically about Romania, but as all other Eurozone members the country would certainly benefit from reduced transaction costs, which makes cross-border trade easier. This also tends to support investments in the country (both from within the Eurozone and from abroad), and it may bring increased price stability (particularly for countries with weaker economies).

    Eurozone membership also means being part of the European Stability Mechanism. This creates a higher degree of financial stability for members, particularly in times of a crisis, as it provides a source of funding that countries may not have otherwise.

    These would be my two cents.

    What are the reasons that politicians in Romania are hesitant to join the Eurozone?

  • Germany: Drones disrupt air traffic in Hanover

    Jump

  • Nah, this is serious reporting about threats against Europe.

    The communities that are "a collection of war propaganda pieces" are the .ml domains where they are often literally cheering the violence, including Russia's war against Ukraine. In these communities, you even get banned if you don't unconditionally support Russia in its war against Ukraine, or China's aggression against its neighbours or its minorities in the country.

  • You may not know this, but the world socialist website is a propaganda medium conveying anti-democratic, particularly Chinese Communist Party narratives. This is not a medium.

  • ‘Is this real?’: wife of detained pastor describes anguish as China cracks down on unofficial churches

  • I am not here to win an argument, but insulting the victim the way you do it while at the same time saying that China is just "inflexible" is unacceptable imo.

  • ‘Is this real?’: wife of detained pastor describes anguish as China cracks down on unofficial churches

    Jump

  • If ICE is deporting migrant families with a valid visa, is the U.S. then "inflexible"? Is it then a migrant father's 'reckless choice' to have entered the country with his children? (To be safe: The answer is, no, it is the U.S. state that is reckless.)

    The most weird point with your comment is that you even offend the victim calling him a "dipshit" and a "zealot." How out of touch can you get.
