  1. How's that different if you buy a Chinese product via a UK retailer? Apart from paying a middle man I can't see how that's not funding the same regime.

  2. Everything you buy is impregnated with Chinese shitery. Even top end Swiss watches have Chinese components… And even Ducati’s. Probably…

  3. I like my iphone, and the fact that its made in China doesn't bother me in the slightest.

  7. Some Pirelli tyres are made in China but, if you trust a Google AI summary, most are still manufactured in Europe. Andy

  8. Google AI is not very accurate. It tells lies.

  9. I see Italy barred China from taking a controlling interest in Pirelli although it looks like they still own ~45%

    Rather strangely China does own Filippo Berio - by the even strangely named 'Bright Group'
