  • This is not limited to Germany. China, for example, is far ahead in this regard. Many producers have gone bankrupt in recent years or halted productions, the domestic oversupply is hurting the Chinese industry (with even Chinese managers warning literally of a 'bloodbath' in the industry).

    China plays a role here, too. They need foreign markets to get rid of their structured overcapacity due to a hopelessly nationalist economic policy we have likely not seen since the 18th century's European mercantilism.

  • @AlexLost@lemmy.world

    You lost your bet. The Norwegians also tested a Dutch model, and it hasn't had that feature.

    That aside, China is not exactly among the countries with the friendliest governments. It should be clear that no one can want someone else to have control over its infrastructure. And, yes, China is not the only problem. The point is that here in the Lemmyverse you can criticize everyone, but if you criticize China there comes some whataboutism.

  • Yeah, when we are older we have seen more in Europe and China (and hasn't Confucius portrayed an old age as the summit of a long life?). Who knows what happens. It's hard to tell the future if the US is doing things.

  • What does that mean? And what has it to do with the linked report and what I said? This makes no sense.

  • Do you have anything that fosters your statements?

    That aside, China has been doing exactly that for decades, and this practice has intensified in recent years and even months.

  • In principle I'd agree, but I have a nitpick: The laws must say that those that built infrastructure must be European countries with their HQ in Europe (not foreign-owned subsidiaries with European HQ).

  • Accountable based on what laws?

    On the laws we have in European democracies that can be changed and adapted as needed (unlike in China, where this can't be done).

    European company (which would likely be using Chinese tech for that anyways).

    Wherever that's the case, it must apparently be changed, one major reason being national security (the same reason why China is blocking European and other non-Chinese vendors in its domestic markets, btw).

  • No, this is not a 'Chinese' problem, but as a European I would rather have this problem with a European supplier than with a Chinese supplier for having control over the trains on the continent (or my car, or any technology). But I agree that there shouldn't be remote access in the first place.

  • Russian military in Ukraine's Kharkiv region killed civilians with a dog who were trying to escape danger

    The published video [provided in the linked report] shows people walking on the road with a raised white flag and their pet. The Russian drone struck the civilians directly, killing them on the spot. The first person was targeted, followed by the second.

    “This crime is further evidence that concepts like honor, morality, or law do not exist for the occupiers,” the 77th Separate Airmobile Dnipro Brigade of the Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine commented on the footage.

    According to the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine, the drone strikes in an area spanning nearly 200 miles along the Dnieper River, which bisects Ukraine, have targeted Ukrainian civilians.

    “The Russian armed forces have carried out attacks with short-range drones on the right bank of the river, which is under Ukrainian Government control, with full disregard for the civilian population, killing and injuring civilians and causing damage and destruction,” the report says.
