  • Affordable housing and the threat by malicious actors to attack digital payment systems are two different things. Homelessness has to be addressed, of course, but we are dealing here with something else.

    TikTok Has Pushed Chinese Propaganda Ads To Millions Across Europe -- ( July 2024, updated September 2024)

    According to TikTok's newly public advertising library, ads from China’s largest state media outlets touting everything from China Covid lockdowns to tourism in the troubled Xinjiang region have been broadcast to millions of the platform's European users.

    TikTok Ads Paid for by Chinese Media Target European Users -- (August 2023)

    Chinese media sponsored over a thousand ads on TikTok targeting European audiences. Additionally, accounts that carefully obscure their connections to China may pose further risks in coordinated information manipulation campaigns.

    This are just two examples, there is much more across the web.

  • Let us not forget the people in Xinjiang who pay a harsh price for cheap Chinese EV cars. Unfortunately, forced labour and supply chain transparency wasn't an issue here.

  • I’m from Europe and I’m kinda getting tired of reminding people from the US that your blind patriotism is just that…a blind spot that is used against the US citizens on every corner.

    For starters, I/m from Europe, but my friends from the U.S. might not need to be reminded where they live, they know that themselves. And we are all tired of this whataboutism all over the place. There is a lot of criticism on the U.S., the surveillance there, and Clarence Thomas. The thing is that in these posts, there are no whataboutisms, no one commenting, "but in China ...".

  • As an addition:

  • I guess they can't say much in this case. Maybe a bit whataboutism (chat control? Google does the same?), but you can't defend this imo.

  • Thanks for this.

    Maybe you know Total Trust, a documentary.

    Total Trust is an eye-opening and deeply disturbing story of surveillance technology, abuse of power and (self-)censorship that confronts us with what can happen when our privacy is ignored. Through the haunting stories of people in China who have been monitored, intimidated and even tortured, the film tells of the dangers of technology in the hands of unbridled power. Taking China as a mirror, Total Trust sounds an alarm about the increasing use of surveillance tools around the world – even by democratic governments like those in Europe. If this is the present, what is our future?

    If you speak German, you can watch it on Arte TV, but it is only available 3 more days.

  • [...] called quantum technologies “potentially revolutionary and disruptive” and classed them as “an element of strategic competition” with rival states [...] for components that can have military as well as civilian uses [and potentially] give China a scientific and military edge.

    So the article is quite clear, just read it.

    Basically, it is what China has always been doing, too. Many argue that China has even harsher rules regarding international collaboration -in both science and economy- and does not show any willingness for reciprocity.
