8·1 day agoI am wondering how this would work out as, once again, the EU says China is key enabler of Russia’s war in Ukraine.
I am wondering whether this is part of some disinformation campaign. There is no verifiable content for the alleged state of emergency, it literally comes out of thin air.
The original report in “Die Welt” is endlessly redundant, contradicts itself several times, and doesn’t cite a single source. “Die Welt” then even says a the end of its article that the government denies the reports that “Die Welt” is reporting on. Which reports these are or were, according to which a state of emergency should be declared, is not mentioned.
This is a non-issue reported by the Springer media outlet Die Welt and spread further by Euronews, an outlet owned by allies of Viktor Orban. (I mention this here because I feel this is important as many of these clickbait headlines come from always the same outlets.)
Yes, the environment are paying for that, the low-wage workers in China and/or those working under forced labour-regimes, and the European customers who buy unsafe products threatening their health.
See here:
Russia’s share of EU imports of pipeline gas dropped from over 40% in 2021 to about 11% in 2024. For pipeline gas and LNG combined, Russia accounted for less than 19% of total EU gas imports in 2024 …
Norway and the United States were the top suppliers of gas to the EU in 2024. Norway provided over 33% of all gas imports …
The United States was the largest supplier of LNG to the EU, accounting for almost 45% of total LNG imports. Imports from the US in 2024 were more than double what they were in 2021 …
This was reported by the Ukrainian National Resistance Center (NRC) on Telegram, as cited by Ukrinform.
“Russia is once again masking a crime as ‘care’. Denis Pushylin, the Russian-installed leader of the so-called DPR, stated that this summer over 50,000 children from temporarily occupied Donetsk will be taken to Russia for ‘vacation’,” the NRC reported.
According to the Center, 13,000 children are to be sent to 26 ‘sponsor’ regions of the Russian Federation; 2,500 children will be taken to camps such as Artek, Orlyonok, Smena, and Scarlet Sails, where they will be subjected to Russian propaganda programs promoting the so-called “Russian world.”
Also, teenagers aged 14 and older will be transferred to Russian universities under the University Shifts program.
The NRC stressed that this so-called “vacation” is not an act of care, but rather a cover for illegal deportation.
“This is forced assimilation, deportation, and a war crime under the Rome Statute and the Geneva Conventions. It’s an attempt to steal Ukraine’s future,” the Center stated.
They also called on residents to report deportation organizers via the NRC’s anonymous chatbot and to join the resistance movement to “make life hell for the enemy on Ukrainian soil.”
An alternative source for the same topic is here.
The EU will much likely buy LNG from the US as indicated by the Commission.
The 11% appear to refer to pipeline gas, while the 19% refer to pipeline gas and LNG combined. It’s in the next sentence of your link:

Yes, China must stop spying on dissidents (exiled and non-exiled, of course) and stop supressing minorities in the country.
Quick remainder that the reason for China’s sanctions were critical reports by MEPs on the Chinese Communist Party’s genocidal policy particularly in the Xinjiang region. As this is ongoing and hasn’t changed, there is no reason for the EU to lift its sanctions against China.
Currently, the Chinese individuals and organisations still blacklisted by the EU are:
- Zhu Hailun, former secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR)
- Wang Junzheng, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of XUAR
- Wang Mingshan, secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee -Chen Mingguo, vice-chairman of the government of the XUAR, and director of the XUAR Public Security Department
- The Public Security Bureau of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC)
If there really is a systemic effort to oppress Uyghurs based on ethnicity then its not happening on xiaohongshu.
What an absurdly weird statement.
Here is another tiny sample of a few dozens ‘non-RFA’ sources:

As you appear to like watching videos: https://www.arte.tv/en/videos/087898-000-A/arte-reportage
Maybe you can manage to watch these two:
I read them.
If you want to get a broader summary of the situation, the Campaign for Uyghurs’ website may be helpful. Canada’s House of Commons provides also good insights as well as the International Bar Association and Holocaust Memorial Museum in the US.
“Break Their Lineage, Break Their Roots”, is a report by Human Right Watch from 2021, detailing China’s crimes against humanity targeting Uyghurs and other Turkic muslims.
It comes from all over. You’ll easily find much more.

Nah, the Chinese propaganda is elsewhere. The articles provided at https://sopuli.xyz/c/China are the result of sophisticated, independent, and reliable investigations.
Can you provide any evidence for your claim? It’s clearly wrong, as there has been strong evidence for the suppression of Uyghurs, Tibetans, and other minorities by the Chinese government for a very long time, from many independent sources.
Your statement is outright false.
There is much evidence of genocide by the Chinese Communist Party in Xinjiang (as well as Tibet and with other minorities in China). You are parroting CCP propaganda.
“One of the scenarios is… to give up territory. It’s not fair. But for the peace, temporary peace, maybe it can be a solution, temporary,” he said […]
[…] his country may have to give up territory, albeit temporarily.
What does this mean? How do you give up territory “temporarily,” especially as “the 53-year-old […] stressed that the Ukrainian people would ‘never accept occupation’ by Russia”?
Mr. Klitschko should rather listen to Svitlana, the teacher cited at the end of the article: “Those who think that Putin will stop if he is given Crimea, they don’t know who the Russians are, he is not going to stop.”
Where?
