Russia has been targeting people all over Europe for years with all kind of sabotage activities including arson, bomb attacks, cyber warfare, …

Europe is also pushing away from China.

I agree with your view. It’s certainly a reason why so many ‘only’ condemn the U.S., but some of the commenters are apparently Chinese propaganda parrots (but, yes, they also exploit this leverage you are talking about if I get you right).

As an addition: I find it weird that so many comments here in this thread are - once again - bashing the U.S. and Russia, but are completely ignoring the fact that China is as unpopular. Some misled propaganda parrots are even criticizing the EU for being critical of China. That’s almost hilarious.

Nah, those countries where the rulers are ‘uncaring to the plight of the people’ are China, Russia, and - increasingly - the U.S.

If people in China would criticize the government for any reason, they would disappear. This is why there are no negative views expressed.

The particular danger with Chinese citizens stems from China’s national legislation that obliges virtually every citizen to cooperate with the country’s intelligence services. The main reason for rejected visa applications from China, according to the research, are therefore also security concerns.

Me a European: “Hello fellow Canadians” :-)

Even if this were true, it’s better than supporting a dictatorial regime as you apparently do.

The World Socialist Website is a Chinese propaganda site that support the Chinese Communist Party, including its aggression against Taiwan. Some may say that it fits to the topic as the Chinese government support Germany’s far-right as we know, but this wsws/org is not a reliable source of information. This is a pure propaganda source.

The Chinese Government has made no moves that we know of to restrict Ukrainian Sales …

There is a good analysis published already in December 2024, Why China’s UAV Supply Chain Restrictions Weaken Ukraine’s Negotiating Power, explaining how China manipulates its critical supply chain in Moscow’s favor.

In May 2025, Bloomberg reported that China cuts drone sales to Europe but continues supplying Russia.

In October 2025, another reports revealed that China blocks Ukraine’s last drone supply route after flooding Russia with the same parts

You’ll find more across the web.

In Nepal, authorities, including the police, regularly ​share information on those missing and dead on social media, while search efforts have ​been accompanied by ⁠active DNA testing.

Seems Nepal has a different stance.

Yeah, but one thing many people appear to miss imo is that China’s government is part of this hypocritical community without any standards

China’s total debt burden is already larger than that of the United States and has long surpassed 300 percent of its GDP. The public debt accounts for more than 40 percent of the total debt, but has been rising sharply in recent years.

Apparently the Chinese workers have a different view:

Chinese workers are circulating instructions [on Chinese social media] for reporting excessive working hours to European authorities, using the EU’s forthcoming forced-labour rules as leverage in a domestic labour system where complaints often produce limited results …

Official figures indicate that Chinese employees work more than 48 hours a week on average, compared with a legal standard of 44. Enforcement is uneven, particularly where factories face tight export deadlines or workers depend on overtime to reach an acceptable income …

The report is particularly interesting as it quotes Lu Ming, a member of China’s top political advisory body, who warned earlier this year that “weak Chinese labour protection could provoke foreign trade barriers.”

So a high-ranked Chinese Communist Party official warns about “weak” Chinese labour protection laws and the threat that this could be a barrier for Chinese exports (on which the country’s economy desperately depends due to weak domestic consumption).

The CBAM is based on data, but it is clear that China has no interest in transparency. It is one of the major countries that oppose heavily transparent supply chains. That aside, the claim that ‘the data is not known’ or ‘can’t be collected’ is hilarious when it comes from governments like China that is fixated to collect its every citizen’s move 24/7.

This isn’t true. The data is known. Countries like China can simply avoid the carbon tariffs by improving their environmental laws to the high EU standards, but Beijing has no interest. They just want to produce cheap and continue burning fossil fuels.

This is just an excuse to use climate change to make money without really doing anything to combat climate change.

China burns more fossil fuels than anyone else. If they want to avoid the carbon tariffs, they can just improve their environmental laws to the high EU standards and all is fine.

The democratic world has been slow in its reaction to a new world reality so far, and we have seen where this can lead in Ukraine. There are increasingly signs of improvements imho. Still not enough, but at least we are awakening aware to the threats posed by authoritarian regimes around the globe, particularly China and Russia.

In this case, the issue is clearly about ethnic Chinese targeting their own citizens.

And it’s even worse as has been known for some time, as the rise of Chinese organized crime in the West highlights its ties to the Chinese state,

… As the regime of President Xi Jinping expands its international power, it has intensified its alliance with Chinese organized crime overseas. [Investigations in multiple countries] show the underworld’s front-line role in a campaign to infiltrate the West, amass wealth and influence, and control diaspora communities as if they were colonies of Beijing’s police state.

… Around the world, China’s shadow war of espionage, long-distance repression, political interference and predatory capitalism is drawing attention and alarm. Governments and human rights groups have denounced … a global network of covert Chinese police stations that spy on Chinese migrant communities and persecute dissidents — wherever they live … The Chinese state has sent illegal undercover teams to chase down fugitives in wealthy U.S. suburbs, surveilled and silenced Chinese students on foreign campuses, and allegedly supported the Chinese money laundering underworld that fortifies cartels inundating the Americas with deadly drugs …

… The partnership [between the Chinese state and the Chinese mafia] appears to mix geopolitics and corruption for mutual benefit. Gangsters help monitor and intimidate immigrant communities for the regime in Beijing, sometimes as leaders of cultural associations that are key players in China’s political influence operations and long-distance repression, Western security officials say. ProPublica has learned that suspected underworld figures in Italy and Spain took part in launching several of the secret Chinese police stations that caused an uproar when their existence became public last year …

So what has that to do with the fact that Russia lures Peruvians to its military and sent them to the meat grinder?
