    Are we living in the same continent? I mean if you’re Chinese I get where you are coming from. But your name suggest a Spanish connection. Are more people apart from your curent PM Sanchez, really falling for all that CPC propaganda?

      The name is literally a generated Docker container name, anyways, I’m European.

      What propaganda? That China is by all means, the world’s largest manufacturer, and pushing the envelope in terms of Military Industrial innovations, STEM graduates per capita, etc?

      I go to China for work regularly, besides people looking to model France’s ability to get people to fall in love with its brands, no one there cares about the EU, because they see it as worthless and stuck.

          I live in Europe, I also prefer Euro grass. I just want us to stop thinking we’re the shit, when we’re actually shit and no one cares about the EU because nothing worthwhile comes from this continent atm

            Ok… uhm. But the article was about the dangers of EU- US tradedeal, and the dangers for cyclists with importing US vehicles without any protection for cyclists and pedestrians ?

            I don’t know who thinks Europe is the shit, like you said . But I also don’t think that we are actually shit.

            I do believe Europe is being extremely pressured by the East & West and we’re just barely protecting our way of life atm… Also Europe as a whole is still a very new project, srill ways to go and learn too.

              It has a lot to do with the article, because of our superiority complex and literally EU politicians saying “we don’t need China, China needs us more than we need them”.

              Dealing with China would’ve been a good counterbalance against being screwed over by the US tariff wise.

              However, now we have to open up our markets to American cars and ractopamine pork from the US (yes, the deal also includes deregulating EU food safety standards).

              Our gloating is literally destroying our standards of life
