This is an Indian state-sponsored global racketeering on an industrial scale.

Peking duck is superb in its flavour/texture/presentation and so is Guangdong roast suckling pig-both have the exquisite skin/savoury meat-pate de foie gras is akin to liverwurst-which I like ,but don't compare it to the 2 Chinese delicacies.Oh no, you know what this is right? They're onto that foie gras thing and figured out where it's all coming from.
EU should learn from China’s energy tech, say heads of 2 of France’s largest power firms
The EU can learn from China’s tech knowledge and speed capability in both renewable and nuclear power sectors
The heads of two of France’s biggest energy companies have urged governments in the (EU) to work with China on nuclear and renewable power to learn from Chinese firms, amid rising concerns from Brussels over the bloc’s dependence on Beijing.
Bernard Fontana, chief of state-owned energy firm Electricite de France described visiting China Nuclear Industry 23 Construction Co. during a recent trip to China, where its team explained how they could build a support structure in just one week while the same structure could take up to two years in to build in France.
“The help they give us is methodological ... but it does not create dependency,” said Fontana, during a panel at Les Rencontres Economiques d’Aix-en-Provence economic forum over the weekend.
Nuclear cooperation was among the many topics mentioned in agreements signed between Beijing and Paris during ’s visit to China in December. French media have widely reported that EDF saw as a benchmark in the acceleration of nuclear reactor constructure.
Patrick Pouyanne, CEO of TotalEnergies and a fellow panellist, echoed the point on efficiency. Pouyanne also spoke of a recent trip to China, where he found the regulatory system much faster than in France, and saw how China issued permits allowing reactors and factories to be built quickly.
Pouyanne urged Europe to bring in Chinese companies and set up joint ventures to share technologies.
“I’m not afraid of the Chinese. I think that for Europe, building a Maginot Line isn’t how we’re going to get there,” he said, referring to a familiar shorthand in France for a defensive effort that proves useless. “Something worse will happen: they’ll come in anyway, without bringing us anything.”
The EU has been struggling to find a balance between encouraging a transition and protecting its own industrial base, which faces an influx of Chinese products that dominates many areas of the renewable energy sector.
“Now we Europeans, we need to do [joint ventures] ... otherwise we will fall behind,” Pouyanne said.
These guys really dont understand there are consequences to their hostile statements and actions do they?
Because China’s always been using kid gloves when dealing with these chair sitters.These guys really dont understand there are consequences to their hostile statements and actions do they?
It is better now but I see in general Chinese people still see Western countries (including Japan, South Korea) through rose tinted glasses and just hate being Chinese. Just look at Xiaohongshu, which is flooded with posts mocking China. From Chinese Football to "Huawei being so expensive while only using subpar domestic components". Like they forget Huawei was forced to use exclusively domestic components, not by choice.Going to rant because I am drunk.
People really do not remember how toxic imperialism was.
Not only there was complete subjugation, there was the stench of racism attached to all aspects of that imperialism of the past.
Why do we think the decolonization after World War II happened with such a vengeance. By vengeance, that was mostly emotional vengeance as the Third World was that weak. But once the imperial powers destroyed themselves with those two world wars, finally the countries in chains had a chance to free themselves.
When they say, dollar hegemony, what do you think they mean?
US dollar being the reserve currency for the world, having oil priced in dollars, allows the United States to extract goods from the rest of the world at lower prices, because the Fed controls the printing presses for greenbacks.
What was colonization and imperialism all about? It was about extracting resources at lower prices. Like the in the past for Europe, like today for the US.
Then the British had their commonwealth of nations. Where in the British Commonwealth, the rules were nations traded within it, usually at preferential tariffs. Guess what?
Guess what? Who is saying that this telecom equipment must be from trusted countries?
Screw you imperialist. Still setting up rigged systems, based often on racist ideology, to extract gains at the expense of others.
The imperialism never went away. It just changed to be more polite.
(Got that line from Canada. They say American racism is real racism, but Canadian racism is polite racism. Not too sure how true that is today, things do change.)
So some young Chinese people find out, that a European company, can use the law to claim a cultural motif, and extract money from it, and have their European government back them fully citing the rules of the law, and now they are upset about it?
Why do we think China loves Chairman Mao! We know what he stood for.
What else can we say!

Still, it was kind of weird.
Why was Elaine Chao in China visiting and having meetings with Chinese leadership when her husband is bedridden in a US hospital?
What did President Trump call her again?
