This is very good. We need more of this ‘grassroots media’.

I am not sure whether I understand your comment. Don’t you want opinionated articles to be flagged as ‘opinion’? I thought it’s a good idea as it is not a typical news article. Just let me know.

So many removed comments…

It seems the removed comments are from always the same few users …

There are 10,000 foreigners wrongfully detained in the Chinese Communist Party’s Prison System, and they come from across the globe …

It’s real …

Forced organ harvesting and transplant tourism – (May 2024)

China’s new Regulation on Donation and Transplantation of Human Organs takes effect May 1, 2024 […] However, experts suggest the regulatory change will not lead to transparency, bring an end to China’s transplant tourism business, or protect prisoners of conscience and ethnic groups from crimes in organ transplantation, including forced organ harvesting.

Whataboutism: the act or practice of responding to an accusation of wrongdoing by claiming that an offense committed by another is similar or worse. Called also (chiefly British) whataboutery.

China is indeed doing that all over the world. In May this year, for example, the Chinese ambassador to Japan said that “Japanese people would be dragged into the fire” if they support Taiwan independence, while China’s ambassador to Australia said in January that Australia would be “pushed over the edge of an abyss” if they support Taiwan’s independence.

If such coercive tactics are criticized, the response is often blatant whataboutism.

I guess this is just an introduction into the story, but I also feel it is a bit too long. A sentence or two would have been sufficient.

• Policies and action: insufficient
• NDC (nationally determined contributions) target against modelled domestic pathways: highly insufficient
• NDC target against against fair share: insufficient
• Overall rating: highly insufficient

What should Hungarians do to prevent a further drift into dictatorship? Sitting at home and watching propaganda TV?

You continue to engage in whataboutism. What a waste of time.

The renewable energy is one thing. China is the largest emitter of carbon dioxide, and emissions are still rising.

It’s blatant whataboutism as this report is on China, and it says the country’s climate emission policy is insufficient. Just read the report.

@basmati@lemm.ee

This is the -unfortunately expected- whataboutism.

Additional renewable energy capacities do not compensate the harm done to the climate by carbon dioxide emissions, and China’s emissioin are still rising while it is already the world’s largest emitter as the report also says.

Join? No. Global trade requires fair competition, reciprocity, transparent supply chains, human rights baked into economic agreements such as the WTO, among other things.

What humanity needs is a just transition to solve current and upcoming social and environmental issues. There are many countries in the world whose policies are manifestly unjust, unfortunately.

Chinese companies should only be allowed to found companies in the EU as a joint venture with a European partner, while this European partner holds a controlling majority. I am sure that China will fully support such a law as a reciprocity is an important feature of global trade.

Es hilft wirklich, wenn man einen Artikel liest, bevor man ihn kommentiert. Und diese Zirkel, um die es hier geht, mit Dingen wie dem Goethe-Institut zu vergleichen, ist Schwachsinn.
