    EU supports US invasion of Venezuela by claiming Maduro is an illegitimate president. Refuses to call the US invasion illegitimate.

  • No, the sanctions here are not meddling.

    The EU, the UK (after the Brexit), and the US imposed sanctioned against Venezuela and individual citizens such as an arms embargo, travel restrictions and an asset freeze on those responsible for serious human rights violations or abuses or the repression of civil society and democratic opposition, and those whose actions, policies or activities otherwise undermine democracy or the rule of law in Venezuela.

    These sanctions are still in place as they should be.

  • This is not 'meddling in affairs.' Maduro is not elected, and the EU and its member states must make that clear at the UN level and any level.

    And, again, this tweet does not say that the EU supports the US invasion as the post title suggests. OP got that (intentionally?) wrong.

  • This is a cross-post from a .ml comm post linked to a social media tweet.

    And the tweet does not say it supports the US invasion of Venezuela. The EU has been rejecting Maduro as president since the last 'election' over fraud accusations.

    This is propaganda bullshit without any substance. I don't understand why this is not deleted.

  • Venezuela: MEPs recognise Edmundo González as President - (Sep 2024)

    Parliament urges the EU to reinstate sanctions against the members of the National Electoral Council. It calls for the prolongation of regime sanctions and for expanding their scope to apply targeted sanctions through the EU Global Human Rights Sanctions Regime against Nicolás Maduro and his inner circle.

  • Regard Taiwan as an inalienable part of China, Pakistan reiterates

    跳过

  • Yeah, this so-called medium from Pakistan has been praising the Pakistan-China relationship for years now.

    Pakistan not only supports China in its claim of Taiwan, but also Beijing's position on East Turkistan/Xinjiang (praising, according to a letter to the UN that was signed by Pakistan in 2019, China's "remarkable achievements in the field of human rights"), Tibet, China's frequent aggression against countries in the South China Sea, and the Sino-Indian border dispute including China's claim to the Indian region of Arunachal Pradesh.

    Oh, yes, the China's Hong Kong policy is also great, according to Pakistan.

    Whatever China wants, Pakistan will support.

  • EU’s new ‘green tariff’ rules on high-carbon goods come into force

    跳过

  • And?

    If we continue the race where the cheapest product wins at the expense of the environment, then we are going to have a climate policy like the one in the U.S., Russia, or China. The world's biggest polluters have the weakest rule in the combat of climate change. The COP30 in Brazil was another prove for this.

    The EU is not good, yet much better.

    It's good that Europe stands firm. I wish it did so in other things (like the ban of combustion engine) also.

  • Italy, Chinese mafia wars: Amid a violent conflict between rival crime groups in Italy, suspicions of a Chinese Communist Party strategy to weaponize criminals for its own purposes come to light

  • Well, I don't know this author, but I don't see what it has to do with the Chinese Communist Party strategy to weaponize criminals for its own purposes.

  • Drug gangs pose grave threat to European security, agency warns

    跳过

  • This is a serious and rising problem, but one that is not limited just to South American drugs as many reports have shown in recent years.

    For example, synthetic drugs from the Netherlands are exported worldwide, with China providing a significant portion of the laboratory equipment, raw materials and chemicals necessary for their production (opens pdf).

    In 2021, one reports shows how Asian drug-trafficking networks operate in Europe:

    [A] European Parliament report noted that Chinese criminal groups often collaborate with Dutch groups in the Netherlands supplying MDMA and meth precursors like piperonyl methyl ketone (PMK) and benzyl methyl ketone (BMK), respectively.

    And more recently, an investigation reveals how China and Chinese mafias overseas protect each other’s interests:

    The rise of Chinese organized crime in Europe highlights its ties to the Chinese state, national security officials say. Recent cases show the suspected role of mobsters in Beijing’s campaign to repress diaspora communities and amass influence.

  • I don't waste my time anymore to listen to this pseudo-intellectual. There is much to criticize about this person, but the most obvious comes from withing his own organization. In 2022, soon after Russia invaded Ukraine, the Polish left-wing party Razem had left Varoufakis' so-called Progressive International and 'Democracy in Europe 2025 Movement' (DIEM25), the reason being very revealing:

    In the absence of an unequivocal declaration recognising Ukraine's sovereignty and an absolute condemnation of Russian imperialism by the Progressive International and the Democracy in Europe 2025 Movement, Lewica Razem ends its cooperation with these organizations.

    This person has nothing to do with democracy or anything like that. His organizations are just cultivating a personality cult around Yanis and some others that appeal to specific anti-democratic groups of which some are also here on Lemmy.

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

    跳过

  • It's absolutely fair to say that this vulnerability isn't unique to Chinese tech and must be addressed regarding any tech, but the Chinese government isn't definitely an ally. China's political and economic coercion tactics have been well-known for decades, and it has become worse in the recent decade. It's not a misdiagnosis therefore.

    Edit for an addition: If this would be an article about US tech doing the same thing, would you also call it a 'misdiagnosis' because China is also a problem? I assume you wouldn't. This kind of whataboutism works only in one direction.

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

    跳过

  • 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"

    跳过

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
