I don't understand. The EU purposefully advantaged Chinese companies for decades to the detriment of EU companies. I don't understand how anyone can either believe this was an accident or say it really was someone else. Makes no sense.
The EU did nothing like that - it's quite simply a lie you are proclaiming here, and once again, the EU only does what the member states agree upon. China was for decades an important export market so chinese imports were accepted as a part of the deal by majority of the EU countries (otherwise they would simply change the rules). Now the tide is turning, many European imports are not needed anymore in China and so i…
Most packages out of China weren't tested at all in Western Europe. That's why the baby toys with lead paint ... was discovered by diagnosis, not by import checks. In other words: a whole bunch of children had their lives destroyed (lead contamination in children leads to permanent stunted brain growth in tiny doses. In other words, there is NO way medical fix once it happens, it is permanent life altering damage to those children, just like if you cut of an arm, except less visible)
Needless to say, Chinese companies didn't pay for anything ... and if you were caught painting baby toys in lead paint in Europe, we're talking billions in damages.
So there was nothing like those checks in the Netherlands or the UK. Nothing remotely like what you describe.
