At this point, Europe can't escape from made-in-China. Even the majority of your energy comes from Russia.

It's pretty weird to set out to try to make a thing completely in America and to find out towards the end of the process that you made something in China anyways. That's really hard to swallow. So this is a big, big problem.

It's now clear to almost everyone that China has monopolies on all the key metals and materials that make almost everything go

EU buys record amount of gas from Russia’s flagship plant
Europe purchased almost all the LNG produced by the Yamal facility in the first half of 2026 ahead of import ban

Europe is the same.
They don't produce anything that can compete with the products from AliExpress.
They just want to charge extra simply because you are physically in the EU.
That's like the mob would act.
When i do get into shops here, most products on sale are made in china anyway, only 3 times more expensive

Amazon and Ebay are the US government basically.
unless you believe these silly stories of the lone entrepreneur who somehow became owner of these huge platforms.
mark zuckerberg, elon musk, peter thiel, jeff bezos.... all these guys and their products are the US government basically.
eBay is different to Amazon. eBay works similar to Aliexpress, but on an international level.
