1·21 hours agoThis is not about ‘leverage’ but a stance on human rights. But, more importantly, it’s a reason why China is not a reliable partner for Canada.
It’s also important that the UAE is also allegedly supporting crimes against humanity and genocide in China’s Xinjiang region. There is ample evidence for Beijing’s atrocities against Uyghurs as you may know (you’ll find a lot of very reliable sources across the web, some of them even here as I have read).
So Canada must not look only at Sudan but also China.
It is also important in this context that Chinese military was reportedly hosted at base in the UAE. The UAE and China have close military ties and held a joint air force drill in China’s Xinjiang region.
6·2 days agodo we(legally) need to protest against each new version over and over again?
Not a legal expert, but I am afraid that’s how it is …

Financial Services firm Morningstar sees European defense stocks as undervalued after the recent overreaction to potential peace deal ignores the real drivers of demand.
The market reaction is overstated. European defense valuations are anchored in structural budget increases rather than short-term Ukraine revenue, and rearmament plans are unlikely to reverse even in the event of a peace agreement …
European governments’ long-term demand reflects inventory rebuilding, capability and platform scale-up, and autonomy from US support … to reach 3.5% of GDP on defense spending. These fundamentals remain intact and support order visibility, backlog conversion, and cash generation.
Ukraine procurement is marginal for most contractors. Germany is now the largest single supporter of Ukraine. Yet, Rheinmetall has only EUR 1.7 billion of Ukraine orders within an EUR 64-billion backlog, underscoring the sector’s long-run domestic and NATO-driven demand …
How do you make such an inference? This is a divisive rhetoric out of the blue that is echoing anti-democratic propaganda aimed at sowing division among society.
Aha …

Europe needs to build that itself, as much as it needs to ‘re-industrialize.’ The safest and best place to produce things is in Europe as its environmental and social rules are more developed as elsewhere: https://feddit.uk/c/buyeuropean
6·2 days agoYeah, that’s certainly true. For Europe, however, the continent was rather regulating than building in the past. But it must do both. It’s also important to build a strong open source ecosystem in Europe imho. Relying on European Big Tech (Telecom, SAP, …) is insufficient. I am no sure whether all politicians have gotten this.
Addition: That’s basically what @[email protected] says in this thread. I fully agree with that.
2·3 days agoYeah, China, India, and some oil states refuse to end fossil fuels, but ‘Europe bad’ despite it does the opposite …
Exactly. There is no option for Europe other than developing its own technology. https://feddit.uk/c/buyeuropean

51·10 days agoA similar case recently happened in Germany, where the country’s authorities face heavy criticism after admitting that a 56-year-old Uyghur asylum-seeker was mistakenly put on a plane to China instead of to Turkey.
According to reports (one is here), the woman, Reziwanguli Baikeli, had fled China’s Xinjiang region in 2017, lived in Turkey for several years and joined her daughter in Germany in 2024. Uyghurs are recognised by Germany as a group at extreme risk of persecution; informal guidance says they should not be returned to China.
Experts call for Germany (and possibly the whole of Europe) for a federal “white list” of countries to which deportations are categorically barred, similar to policies already used in Sweden and the Netherlands.

Yeah, mainland China - the other China, so to say - shows a similar stance. Despite critical voices of Beijing regarding Israel’s war in Gaza, ties between China and Israel have in many ways proven resilient. Bilateral trade rose to USD 16.3 billion in 2024, up almost 12% from 2023, for example.
Despite Israel having banned Chinese suppliers from sensitive military procurement, commercial ties improved as trade data shows. In addition to U.S. companies, Chinese technology firms are a decisive supplier of Israel surveillance tech in Gaza and the West Bank (you’d easily find many reports on the web about that).

The pressure on car markets are not limited to the UK. China’s BYD literally warned of a ‘bloodbath’ in its Chinese domestic market, and we have been watching mass layoffs and bankruptcies in China, Europe, the U.S. in recent years.
