Simple. When the French do it, they call it a "a separate €3 EU levy."

When the Trump-Vance administration does it, they call it an "unfair tariff."

The one-worlders love the notion of one world politics, until it actually costs them.....

China is the enemy and Europe has to find “European” reasons to wage war on Chinese business as a silent partner of the USA.

This quick fashion change is common in East Asia.

South Koreans call it “fast fast” culture.

You want to be fashionable? The new fashion is being designed, made and distributed in the previous 24 hours before a woman goes out for a night on the town.

Imports of small parcels from China have already fallen by up to 40 per cent since a separate €3 EU levy came into force in July.

LOL. EU just following Trump/USA's lead in removal of the "de minimus" import duty exemption for products under $800 value

Exploiting a rule used for personal items and personal gifts, Chinese companies were running Amazon-like distribution into the USA for cheap Chinese stuff, and not paying any duty whatsoever.

It took Trump to motivate the EU to fix this problem in their own territory.

Quit buying crap from China - or any foreign country. If you can’t find it/buy it in America - you don’t need it!

(A Motor Head will be here in 3...2...1 telling me that he can’t get car parts, which may or may not be true.)

Polyester garments are a plague. They are unhealthy to wear and the fibers can't be recycled except into black plastic packaging containers. When polyester garments are donated because they fall apart quickly, they don't sell well and end up as nonbiodegradable obstacles to nature in landfills; in third world nations that do not have recycle or landfill programs, polyester rags end up choking their waterways, fouling their beaches and endangering wildlife. Pox on cheap polyester garments.
