  • German Views of the U.S.-Germany Relationship Turn Sharply Negative

    Jump

  • Oh, that's not only the U.S. but also China, although the German and other European's view on China has turned negative already years ago. The most recent poll afaik is from 2023. The results in brief:

    In Germany, one of the key European players traditionally setting the tone of Sino-European relations, the public opinion appears surprisingly hawkish: while 33 percent of respondents do see China as a necessary partner, 32 percent believe it is a rival. Coupled with 18 percent seeing China as an adversary, precisely one half of German respondents would presumably agree that a far-reaching remaking of the German China policy is needed. Data suggests that the same could also be true for Sweden, France, and Denmark ...

    The readiness to impose sanctions on China if it was to provide lethal aid to Russia seems remarkably high. Importantly, even though the question regarding sanctions highlighted that they could seriously harm Western economies, 41 percent of European respondents agreed that they should be imposed.

    As the U.S. becomes more and more like China, it's no wonder that views on German-U.S. relationship turn negative I would say.

    [Edit to correct typo.]

  • China's CATL breaks ground on huge Spanish battery plant - bringing its own workers

    Jump

  • China always brings its own workers as well as its own supply chains. This is also the reason why China is opposing transparent supply chains. Slave-labour is the rule there (see, for example, Brazil as one recent example). China should not be allowed to build such plant in Europe imo.

  • Yeah, I agree. It's the first sentence in the article, and I didn't want to change too much. But I fully agree with you stance.

  • How China could crash Europe’s energy grid and what the EU can do about it

    Jump

  • No worries. All good.

    I was not aware of that story regarding the two communities. Thanks for the information.

  • I don't understand your question tbh. Why wouldn't it be bad to cross-post in a decentralized network, may it be to a small or large community? And what has that to do with an alleged 'genocide deniability'?

    (Maybe it's just me, but I have no special intention with such a cross-post, just different comms with subscribers interested in the same topics. I don't mean to accuse anyone of anything with that nor do I need something like a safe space.)

  • How the far right became a Europe-wide movement

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Ukraine demands $43 billion from Russia for environmental damage caused by the war

    Jump

  • 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.
