  • I don't think these two things (capitalism and fascism) are related (but China and Russia are fascist governments).

  • So China is a capitalist government then? Russia?

  • Yeah, that's just part of OP's daily "Europe bad, China good" propaganda trip (just look at their post history).

    It is indeed much less as China’s carmakers are heading for a crash with market leader BYD openly warning of a 'bloodbath' in the Chinese domestic markets over fierce price wars that have been going on for years.

    UK: Chinese spies targeted ‘thousands’ in Westminster operation, approached those ‘one step removed’ from high-priority parliamentary figures, economists, think tank employees, consultants

  • Yeah, and ~21% of Ukraine's latest pre-war GDP (2021, ~200 billion).

    Addition to provide further context: Total post-war reconstruction in Ukraine is set to cost 524 billion, according to the latest report (covering all damage incurred since intensified conflict erupted on 24 February 2022 through to 31 December 2024).

  • Russian neo-Nazi paramilitary group Rusich announces “contest” encouraging fighters to execute Ukrainian POWs

    The announcement, which was published on the group’s channel on Telegram on Nov. 17, read:

    “We’re announcing a contest.

    The first three people to send in photos with clearly executed prisoners in the background will receive a material reward in cryptocurrency from the Rusich Sabotage and Assault Reconnaissance Group.

    Send your photos anonymously, we’ll definitely publish them.”

    Executing prisoners is a direct violation of the Geneva Conventions. Under the Third Geneva Convention of 1949 and Additional Protocol I of 1977, the summary execution, torture, cruel treatment, and humiliation of POWs are all strictly prohibited. Those who order such acts are also considered war criminals.

    Article 25 of the Rome Statute likewise establishes criminal responsibility for anyone who “orders, solicits, or induces” the commission of such crimes.

  • Thank you for taking the time to post your kind and thoughtful comment.

  • We have one fascist army in the East of Europe, the one that has been invading Ukraine and engaging in a hybrid warfare against the rest of Europe (oh, yes, this fascist army's government is also one of AfD's main supporter).

  • What did they agree upon? Or is it just another propaganda piece by OP?

    Addition:

    Between January and August 2025, German exports to China fell by 13.5%. At the same time, Chinese imports into Germany increased by 8.3%.

    The market share of German carmakers in China's domestic market dropped from 53% in 2022 to 33% now.

  • This is an absurdly weird comment.

  • A friendly reminder that 1.5% of Nato countries' GDP will be earmarked for security measures that are considered 'non-military' - e.g., sabotage acts like this one, arson attacks, cyber attacks, ...

  • 'Never' is a long time ...

    The original headline is, "When you deliver, you progress’: EU opens final negotiations cluster with Albania," and the article stresses that, "Together with Montenegro, Albania is now seen as one of the frontrunners in the EU accession process."

    The EU should have a firmer stance in its support for democratic movements in the Balkans imho. Don't know for Albania, but I'm certain it should for Serbia where student protesters have largely been 'left alone.'

    EU officials must press Serbian PM Vucic (a close ally of Russia and China, which both are trying to gain influence in the region), what they have done so far is widely insufficient.

    Albania seems to be better in that respect. Although corruption is for sure a big issue, I hope that new countries (including Moldova, Ukraine, Montenegro, and others ...) will manage to become members soon.

  • A friendly reminder that 1.5% of Nato countries' GDP will be earmarked for security measures that are considered 'non-military' - e.g., such sabotage acts and similar crimes like arson attacks, cyber attacks, and things like that.

  • Bloomberg is mistaken as German (and other European and Western) companies are already adjusting their value chains, namely eliminating Chinese suppliers (one post from today is here: https://feddit.org/post/21744444).

    The Merics data cited in the article is from 2020 - 2024, and the narrative is not accurate. Western companies are moving away from China as they are increasingly aware of the many obstacles within Chinese domestic markets. The Chinese government has no interest in foreign competition, hence its economic policy will artificially block foreign companies.

    One example is Volkswagen, mentioned in the Bloomberg report. Volkswagen already sold its operations in China's Xinjiang region in 2024, after years of mounting pressure to abandon its presence in a region where rights groups have documented abuses against the Uyghur population. Many others have followed or are in the process to do so.

  • The issue of imported tomatoes from China has long been a major issue in Italy before Trump became president this year. This has nothing to do with Trump.

  • Yes, and it can do it better, too :-)
