TheGrandNagus , an Europe in UK charges three with working for Hong Kong intelligence as cases against Chinese and Russian spies mount across Europe

Not surprised. When China disregarded their promise of keeping Hong Kong under a separate system, and started violently cracking down on the populace, the UK kicked up a fuss about it and offered to take on HKers that wanted to get out of there, and it pissed China off.

Unsurprising that they'd send their spies alongside the genuine migrants.

I also don't really understand why this bil is seen as a bad thing.

RunawayFixer ,

It's based on a Russian law that was used to destroy independent ngo's and since the current Georgia regime is a Russian puppet, the long term intent in Georgia is probably the same.

I wish Europe would do something to help these people

TheOctonaut ,

I'm sure it's something specific to the Georgia political landscape but honestly the bill sounds perfect for us in Ireland — the number of either malicious or well-meaning things that get funded entirely by American money in our politics is scary.

0x815 OP , an Europe in EU parliament to back ban on forced labour with eye on China

A desperate cry for help written in Chinese was discovered in a pregnancy test sold in France and made in a Chinese factory.

Let's see if they realize it also applies to the US.

So if it turned out Saudi Arabia and UAE were using slave labor during oil extraction, we'd ban oil imports from there, right?

All jobs, if you get really technical.

Woozythebear , an Europe in Germany and Britain detain suspected Chinese spies

They will trade them for their own spies caught in China and the cycle will continue.

Kaboom , an Europe in Migrant workers exploited, abused in Italy’s prized fine wine vineyards

Thats exactly why they let so many illegals in, to become a near-slave class of workers. Illegals are a weapon against the native population.

Cosmonauticus , an Europe in Migrant workers exploited, abused in Italy’s prized fine wine vineyards

Richer countries wouldn't exist without a population of illegal migrant workers for them to exploit. Europeans like to ignore it because they in general have great regulations for their working class but they regularly gloss over the rights of migrants who prop up their way of life.

Then next election cycle they become a scapegoat for all their problems

hydroptic ,

This is starkly visible here in Finland. Outside of the old Eastern Bloc countries we're the most racist country in the EU (see eg. the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights study called Being Black in the EU from 2018), and it's often incredibly difficult for someone with even a foreign name to actually get employed here as anything but eg. a janitor, waiter, Wolt/Foodora delivery driver etc., completely regardless of how educated someone is. Westerners might have an easier time although that's not guaranteed at all, but especially Black, and Middle-Eastern folks struggle to find any sort of employment that's not menial and criminally underpaid (sometimes literally.) Immigrants form a huge underclass here and everybody seems to do their damndest to pretend that this isn't happening

bigboismith , an Europe in Denmark to conscript women into armed forces for first time

This is a great step forward for equality

TwoBeeSan ,

Real equality is the state demanding you get in that fucking trench

Kusimulkku ,

I'm not sure if Denmark is one of those but for some states there's unfortunately little choice. Not like we in Finland want to be next to Russia. But only men having to serve is an obvious equality issue.

brainrein ,

But don’t you think only women being the only ones in charge of giving birth to the next generation is an obvious equality issue, too?

hydroptic ,

Well, we can't change that with legislation but we can change who gets conscripted

PIS isn’t gonna try to get all… extralegal, and try to stay in power or something, are they…?
