More than “mildly infuriating”, this is deeply depressing.

(And seeing TikTok two times there don’t make things better…)

    So thing is, the Chinese have so much money that they’re just spending money on getting you to buy things. You can get things order things and get them delivered to your country for probably what they cost to make, maybe even less. Idea is to stifle western storefronts and marketplaces so everyone orders from Temu, Shein, etc.

    Like if I want to send something in my country, from one package locker to another, it’s 3-5€. By courier from my door to recipient’s door, it’s more like 10-20€. There’s a bunch of shit on these Chinese apps/websites that costs less than 1€ and shipping is included.
