World News@lemmy.world•‘Is this real?’: wife of detained pastor describes anguish as China cracks down on unofficial churchesEnglish
44·2 days agoIf 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.

At least the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning has chosen Nextcloud in 2022.

Buy European@feddit.uk•EU to impose 3 euro duty on e-commerce parcels from July 2026 in crackdown on cheap Chinese imports such as from Shein, TemuEnglish
51·16 days agoNot when “domestic” online retailers import the exact same crap
This is a myth, it’s not true.
Chinese platforms -as well as all Chinese companies in all sectors- employ their own supply chains. Products from Temu, Shein, AliExpress contain, among others, toxic chemicals at far higher levels than what is allowed in the EU or by any Western standards. Companies like Temu or Shein fail to meet legal standard regarding product safety and environmental and consumer protection. There are many reports from multiple independent sources. I don’t understand why these platforms aren’t shut down completely. They are a threat to your health. And the working conditions in these Chinese sweatshops are desastrous.
This is also why China has been heavily opposing any transparency laws of global supply chains. It’s a closed shop. If Chinese companies like BYD or CATL built battery factories abroad, they even send their own workers. And they work under slave-like conditions as Brazil’s authorities revealed this year at a Brazilian BYD plant:
[Brazilian authorities] said it had identified “163 workers who appeared to be in slave-like conditions”. … workers were kept in “an alarming situation of precariousness” and subjected to “degrading working conditions.”
“In one of the accommodations, workers slept on beds without mattresses and had no wardrobes for their personal effects, which were mixed together with food supplies,” the ministry said, adding that there was only one toilet for every 31 workers.
The ministry also said that it suspected that “forced labor” had occurred, as workers’ passports had been confiscated and 60% of their salary had been retained. The statement said that those who quit their jobs would be forced to pay the company for their airfare from China and their return ticket.
The working situation is similar at Chinese suppliers working for Temu, Shein & Co.
And Western shops can’t sell such toxic products as they would be closed immediately if they did. This alone is a reason why Temu and Shein and all others that don’t play by the rules should be banned immediately and forever.

391·1 month agoI respectfully disagree.
The only chance for a ‘just’ and lasting peace in Ukraine and Europe is a a complete defeat of Putin’s Russia. Everything else doesn’t end the war but will extend it.
Russia must leave the whole of Ukraine.

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.
