Bloc ‘will not waver’ from making tough decisions to protect economy and security, says Ursula von der Leyen

The European Commission chief said she was “convinced that if the competition is fair” from China, then Europe “will have thriving durable economies”. But she said the “imbalances” caused by state support for Chinese industry leading to cut-cost products threatened jobs in Europe, and that was “a matter of great concern”. “Europe will not waver from making tough decisions needed to protect its economy and security,” she said.

    So… communism works?

    Looks like the only people this upsets are wealthy Westerners and their useful idiots.

    its a sure bet that those prices will go up once the local competition is wiped out.

    This actually never happened. Walmart is still cheaper than any regular* grocery store, especially the co-ops.

    *ALDI is cheaper because all of their products suck. Their produce sucks, their packaged goods suck, and their meats aren’t actually cheaper. I think less of anyone who recommends ALDI and regret all the effort I put into giving it a chance.

      I guess this is a regional phenomenon because the aldi stores near me have all been great and cheaper.

      They are not Communist, it has now become an even more repressive autocratic regime, under the guise of a Communist label. If you want to know about communism read Karl Marx.

        Right. I’m talking about this specific instance, not China as a whole.
