They can work around it by paying China to do it and slap a made in EU sticker on.
What if poor quality made in China explosives exported to the EU all turn out to be fake playdough?

You can thank the Propaganda department for the game industry fiasco. I can guarantee you that among the entire government, most of the old-minded people are inside the Propaganda department.I agree. The US govt and the inherent sinophobia of English-language medium are impediments. But these alone can't be inhibiting. After all Genshin Impact and TikTok aren't banned yet. And Chinese cultural products still find a lot of markets. Look at Wandering Earth 2 for example. A lot of people watched it. There are many other problems. It will be a lib argument but yes, excessive censorship is a problem. Political censorship is normal. But things like green blood and arbitrary bans on gaming are ridiculous. Just read Chinese software engineers' posts on social media. Most will tell you how the government effectively killed single player game industry in the early 2000s. Tencent and similars didn't focus on cheap mobile games for no reason.
Not necessarily. She was referring more to the "rebuttal" by the US that Nord Stream was carried out by "non-state actors", like how 9/11 was likewise carried out by the Al-Qaeda, a non-state actor.Intrigued when this CGTN news anchor seemingly implied that 9/11 could also have been an inside job (she compares the Nord stream bombing to it and Hersh is completely surprised). Didn't know this particular view was prominent in the establishment.
China discovers huge gold deposit worth $3 trillion
China has recently discovered a huge gold deposit with a reserve of nearly 50 tonnes, which can be sold for around $3 trillion at current market price.
The deposit is located in rural Rushan City, eastern China's Shandong Province, according to province mineral resource authority.
"The deposit covers a large area," said Shandong Provincial Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources. "The ores are easy to mine and dress."
Government evaluation showed the deposit can produce 2,000 tonnes of gold ores for at least 20 years.
Hong Kong was indeed more pro-China in 2019 than in 1998 or 2008 (contrary to popular myth). Let's take a look at election results....how come Hong Kong was more pro China in 1998 and 2008 than in 2019?
Election Year | Blue (Pro-China) Vote | Yellow Vote |
30.4 | 66.4 | |
39.7 | 59.5 | |
42.1 | 57.1 |

Several European officials and arms manufacturers told the outlet that the bloc’s military plants are suffering from scarce supplies of gunpowder and TNT, which could delay plans to boost shell production by three years. The sources also complained that this meant the defense industry would be unable to meet the soaring demand “regardless of how much money is thrown at the problem.”
The official proceeded to point out that “it’s not possible to increase, in a short time, nitrocellulose” production, which is the basic ingredient in gunpowder. “If I want to increase production of gunpowder I need probably three years,” he added.
