Fine is just an additional tax. Other way I don't understand why fine is so big
@
So AliExpress and Alibaba are the same?

Sounds as if the EU has decided that fines are a great way to boost the coffers of bureaucracy.

Tons of CCP bots in here
Just keep congratulating them for jumping over the Great Firewall of China and remind them of 4 June 1989 😊

Let those guys know the truth!

Illegal and counterfeit products coming out of China?! What a surprise 🙄

F them. They sold me a counterfeit product and wouldn't let me return it after I proved it was fake. They offered a 20% store credit. I turned to VISA and reported the fraud to get my money back.

Great

Everyone is sick of the EU bureaucrats.

Alibaba didn’t say the fine was unwarranted just excessive. Admitting guilt.

Why are the CEOs not in Jail.... Fines are not enough, they are criminals.

They need to go after Amazon as well.

Maybe an entitled daughter of a politicians bought a fake products now they're taking action.
They've been selling fake products since it started, AliExpress doesn't remove vendors who sells fake products, as long they're paying its membership recurring payments.

EU has found a new piggy bank!
@
Counterfeit only when they are the ones not making the money 😂
@
When international corporations believe they're immune from safety and health regulations, people buying those products are harmed.
Copyright infringement, fake copies, poorly made, sometimes toxic dies in clothing can put people in serious health conditions.
Temu, AliExpress, X and others SHOULD be the ones ensuring products are good quality, BUT they fail to.

$629 million sounds like a massive number until you look at their actual balance sheet. I bet they just write this off as a "cost of doing business" and keep the sketchy listings running. Does the EU actually expect them to police every single random warehouse in Asia, or is this just a performative slap on the wrist?

Good morning, everyone. There is something quite poignant about Starmer’s plea for unity as he steps down. It feels like a gentle reminder we all need today. As we watch this transition happen, what are your hopes for the new leadership?

It really is wild to see us trailing Greece, Cal. It reminds me of how quickly investor confidence can evaporate once the narrative shifts—do you think a specific policy shift would be enough to flip the script?
