Ah, tankie. Neither of your links prove what you say. That’s an absurdly weird propaganda.

Here are more details about the new alliance between Canada and the EU (that, is, as @GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip has already said, open for everyone else). It contains many good points imho.

These headlines have been popping up frequently in recent months, but this topic is hopelessly overstated in my opinion. There is no such thing as an "associate EU membership’. What is much more important is the fact that Canada will come closer to the EU than ever, and it will be very close. THIS is much more important than how we call it.

What an absurdly weird argumentation. This Japanese professor is absolutely right in what he says, and what you are doing is just whataboutism (once again, unfortunately).

How does that go against the community overview?

The only one that has a ‘claim on Taiwan’ is China.

Yes, he shares this behaviour with all dictators it seems. Maybe it’s why he admires Xi Jinping so much as he said some years ago as “he controls 1.4 billion people quite ruthlessly.”

Having heavily relied on China and the United ​States, Volkswagen has been squeezed by drastic changes in both markets …

Profits from Volkswagen’s China businesses and joint ventures - once key drivers of the company’s results - have plunged more than 80% over the past decade.

They are cross-posting the biggest bs from ml, and this is another example for this.

Such post are apparently not news, the only intention is portraying the West as bad, and then portray China as the only alternative.

Nah, this just a ml ‘the West bad’ cross-post with a 10-year old content. Seems the tankies run out of stuff.

What is nltimes.nl and who is behind it?

The website publishes exclusively sensationalist headlines mostly with content that offers not much more than the headline itself. When you try to access the site, they ask for your age. What kind of ads do they run there?

As far as I could figure out, the outlet appears to be a partnership so there are little reporting requirements, but there are only a couple of employees. This seems to be another clickbait media.
