The working culture in China is really ‘unique’: rigid and extremely hierarchical (and patriarchal) structures, staff is expected to work overtime.

Just noticed that there is even a Wikipedia article about (but you’d find many other sources on China’s ‘996 working hour system’):

996 working hour system

The 996 working hour system (Chinese: 996工作制) is a work schedule practiced illegally by many companies in China. It derives its name from its requirement that employees work from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm, 6 days per week; i.e. 72 hours per week, 12 hours per day. A number of Mainland Chinese internet companies have adopted this system as their official work schedule. Critics argue that the 996 working hour system is a violation of Chinese Labour Law and have called it “modern slavery”.

The system is still very widespread, although deemed to be illegal as the article also says.

Ja, es ist alles ganz anders.

Yeah, sure clean all yards but start with your own.

Do you say that to Europe, to China, or both?

It’s obvious you’re addressing only Europe. Why?

This is what I meant with ‘The West bad, China bad okay’. It’s hypocritical. It’s double-standards. It’s ignorant and disgusting.

What about cleaning all yards? This ‘the West bad, China bad okay’ stance is dehumanising and ignorant. [Edit typo.]

Ja, und Fakt ist nunmal, dass China von der Krise in Griechenland profitiert und den Hafen von Piräus übernommen hat, nicht Deutschland, wie von Dir irrtümlich gepostet.

I posted this elsewhere already, but it also fits here goven many of the posts in this thread: It is not just about data/privacy concerns (which are underestimated imo, as China pursues an own agenda with collecting your data through Chinese tech) and ‘unfair’ subsidies, but about gross human rights violations.

In short, some parts of the cheap Chinese cars are made in concentration camps where people are forced to work under catastrophic conditions.

The EU Council approved a ban on June 24 on access within the bloc to four key Russian state-run or controlled media outlets effective the next day (June 25):

1. Rossiyskaya Gazeta
2. Voice of Europe
3. RIA Novosti
4. Izvestiya.

The EU already banned other Russian propaganda outlets before, such as RT and Sputnik.

Bitte gerne. Bei all der Propaganda ist es nicht immer einfach, den Überblick zu behalten, selbst bei einfachen Fakten. Da sind dann oft kleine Sachen wichtig. Schrittchen für Schrittchen sozusagen.
