In before the comments, I'm not oblivious to the sociopolitical problems in Chinese society. I'm not well informed either, but I understand the country's authoritarian regime is a threat to its people and to the world (I'm looking directly at Taiwan).

That being said, I'm not under the impression that the EU aims to maintain political and economical relationships with moral countries only. We've seen it with Russian imports lasting for much longer than expected, we still see it with Israel who is actively genocidal, we are seeing it more recently with the Talibans being invited to talk with EU leaders.

If it's not a moral issue, it's likely an economic one. What I don't understand however is, what has China done to be labeled as an unreliable or untrustworthy trade partner?

The tariff thing with the EU was quite a good proof of this. It goes to show how little the relationship matters when he can levy it to make some extra cash off of it. And that in turn has led us - the EU - to pursue other trade agreements: MERCOSUR, India, Australia...

So why not China?

[Homemade] I'm a 9-year vegetarian who really enjoys cooking. I haven't cooked meat in that long but decided to give it a shot with this Black Angus ribeye today, made for my friend. How did I do?

It's been a minute since I tried making a steak. How did I do?

Having graduated my Master's Magna Cum Laude, I decided to try a nicer whisky as a complete beginner and went for a bottle of Lagavulin 16 per so many recommendations!

While packing for his moving I found my dad's old stamp album! I don't know anything about which are cool and which aren't so here are some random pages.

Why is it that EU leaders are continuously reiterating that China is the biggest threat to our economies and trade policies when other have been shafting us continuously?

This settles it: in the fight between siestas and autistic efficiency, siestas win by a landslide

WHO’S NOT A REAL COUNTRY NOW, B*TCH ???

Artistic members of the subreddit, I humbly ask that this victory be taken as reason to pass us into the chads flexing portion of the image. Yours truly, Belgian guy.

How do we feel about Sony Pictures working on a WoTM movie?

This image really hits the spot in terms of the night feeling I love. I'd love some info on the original author if anyone has some.

In Belgium, Brussels, there is a tomb that is lit up by a Heart of Light every summer solstice, as a reminder that "love is stronger than death". Léonce Evrard had this building constructed when his wife Louise Flignot died. The tomb sits in Laeken' cemetery.

Happy Pride month Pierre

I’ve been trying to “style” my bed since it’s such a central piece in my bedroom. What do we think of black duvet cover over pink sheets?

In 10 days, 10 years will have passed since Brexit. I say we make Breturn happen on that day. What do you say Barry? And friends?

I’m getting mixed thoughts on this new sweater I just bought second hand, which surprises me because I think it looks cool. What do you think?

Found on the Belgium subreddit and I thought I'd let Jan know about this outstanding deal

Least unhinged Finnish story

Happy national day to all Swedes! I hope you enjoy some canned fish and do whatever it is you enjoy doing in Summer.

Does anyone know what type of gay that flag represents?

[Collection] My humble two-piece collection! I’ve got my eye on a third and possibly a third to complete my set. Can you guess what direction I’m going for the next two?
