Beijing intervenes in China’s solar industry as overcapacity dries up profit in the country's domestic market

China’s energy regulator said it will limit “low-end” solar panel manufacturing after industry leaders called for more government intervention earlier this month. The move is an acknowledgement by Beijing that solar panel overcapacity is a problem, one that has pushed Chinese solar firms into a price war and shriveled...

British authorities must reconsider whether to open an investigation into imports of cotton allegedly produced by slave labour in the Chinese region of Xinjiang, a London court ruled on Thursday, allowing an appeal by a Uyghur rights group....

Stigma against benefits has made devastating poverty acceptable in Britain, researcher says ( theconversation.com )

Britain is in a poverty crisis. Over 14 million people (one in five) are living in poverty. Of these, 4 million, including 1 million children, are classed as destitute: regularly unable to meet basic needs for shelter, warmth, food and clothing....

What a rubbish! It's awful that the enslaved Chinese workers in Xinjiang and elsewhere in China actually are bearing the burdens of Chinese cheap cars.

0x815 OP ,

Chinese cars aren’t even made in Xinjiang.

First, your statement is outright false, one example being the plant operated until recently by a subsidiary of SAIC-Volkswagen near Urumqi, the capital of China's Xinjiang Region. Volkswagen had to leave the joint venture with SAIC exactly over forced labour allegations.

And second, even if true it wouldn't matter as forced labour in China doesn't just take place in Xinjiang alone. There are many other examples across the country.

@Viking_Hippie
First your are claiming that Chinese cars aren't manufactured in Xinjiang. When I provide evidence that this is false, you say "even so" and repeat your opinion. It seems whatever one says, no matter if evidence proofs otherwise, you "know" it better, continuing with your false narrative and spreading your opinion. Some may find such conversations funny, I say it is waste of time.

Your points in your statement above are false again.

While China has warned the West against 'decoupling', the country’s censorship system is designed for the purpose of isolation, report says ( globalvoices.org )

When the US House of Representatives passed the legislation that would force ByteDance to sell TikTok, a popular video app, to an American company or face being banned in the US, citing national security concerns, the Chinese government criticized the move as “an act of bullying.” Yet, ironically, TikTok is also unavailable...

0x815 OP ,

The 'cyberspace' is designed to be decentralized, exactly the opposite of what you describe. China is trying to 'lead the way' into an Orwellian dystopia, and that's among the least things we need.

What next for democracy in Europe? ( www.arte.tv )

Whether Corona, the treatment of refugees or personalities like Trump, Orbán, Putin or Lukashenko - politics in Europe is under pressure. How representative and, above all, stable are our democratic processes in the face of these challenges? Where is there a need for action? Is democracy potentially becoming more "democratic"...
