It would be fine if they would commit themselves to showing joint leadership also on human rights -a key issue closely related to climate as we know - but I somehow doubt Beijing would agree.

Yes, that’s the link.

There’s a longer discussion thread already on this posted by another account: feddit.org/post/16135663.

How does a translation help if it’s paywalled?

Do you speak French and subscribed to Le Monde?

This is a paywalled article in French.

You appear to have posted the same content yesterday, there’s a longer discussion thread already on this posted by another acocunt: feddit.org/post/16135663

that the US is interfering in democratic societies, I just don’t see how it’s relevant in this context.

Yeah, it is also bad if the US is interfering in democratic societies, but it’s irrelevant in this context. I agree. Don’t know why you bring it up.

I don’t know why you react so uneasy. No one can be happy if Russia is interfering in democratic societies, I hope you agree at least in this point.

This question is dishonest to use your word, because no one know this. But there is ample evidence of Russia’s (often successful) attempts to interfere and exert influence over others countries, including Ukraine and other countries. There are examples here in this thread in the meantime.

Nothing here is dishonest, these are reliable sources strongly related to the issue.

Ukraine’s status as a new democracy and the country’s obvious path toward democratic freedom was exactly the major reason why Russia started the invasion of Ukraine in 2014. The Kremlin doesn’t want Russians to see that there is an alternative, freer system than Moscow’s autocratic government.

FYI, there is a lot of research and evidence of “strategic corruption”, meaning that a a government weaponizes corrupt practices as a tenet of its foreign policy, ranging from Germany’s far-right politician Petr Bystron who has been accused of receiving money from Russia in return for influence to Russian links to corruption in Moldova (pdf) and Russia’s corruption-themed propaganda war against Ukraine that said, for example:

Russian state-sponsored strategic corruption campaign is almost certainly Ukraine. For the two decades preceding Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, Russia employed a wide variety of corrupt measures to influence Ukrainian politics, including the sale of vast quantities of discounted fossil fuels to bribe pro-Russian Ukrainian oligarchs and create a political class aligned with Kremlin interests […]

You’ll find much more. There is really a lot of evidence.

We need more transparency in global supply chains imho.

Such disinformation campaigns come, among others, by malicious state actors, namely Russia and China, and are heavily backed by propagandists across the web, including the so-called ‘tankies’ here on Lemmy. I am wondering what they think about that. And how they feel.

As an addition, a quick reminder that 1.5 percentage points of the Nato countries’ 5% GDP military spending target is earmarked for areas beyond traditional military defense such as fighting disinformation campaigns, arson attacks, cyber attacks, and things like that.

If a European company would sell such products, it would immediately be shut down.

Among the worst examples McGrath came across were baby soothers with beads that fall off easily, which pose a choking hazard because they did not have the regulation size hole to enable a baby who did swallow one accidentally to continue to get air.

… children’s raincoats with toxic chemicals, sunglasses with no UV filter and kids shorts with draw strings longer than regulation length that cause a trip hazard.

… cosmetics containing butylphenyl methylpropional, also known as Lillal, which is listed as a chemical of “very high concern” by the EU and has been banned since 2022 over concerns that it affects fertility and fetal development. Last year, the UK government told consumers to dispose of any products containing the ingredient.

Why haven’t these platforms been long banned and those responsible brought to a court?

This is a big issue, but this ‘PPC Land’ publishes AI generated content only, and the sole source for this is a French document. I don’t say this is wrong, but I am cautious as I couldn’t find an alternative reliable source and my French is by far not good enough.

Your entire behaviour and line of argumentation in this thread is almost hilarious. You are frequently relativizing and sometimes completely retracting your own arguments after they have proven wrong, and now you are posting a document to ‘refer to Germany’s stance’. What a waste of time.
