My understanding is they are temporary licences, like others that have been issued to some French boats to give them time to "find" evidence that they have ever fished in the waters around Jersey. It just buys everyone time, which seems sensible
I can see that coming if China doesn't revise its practices. Although per individual, the US is apparently twice as wasteful, so let's start there
They banned Huawei from this country, so that's a start. Also US, Canada, NZ, Australia, Japan, Germany and many others limiting their use of the Chinese kit. It's years ahead of what we're using in it's place, Nokia and Ericsson, and they can't keep up with demand. Very difficult to stop buying other stuff fron there, especially raw materials, as the market price is undercut massively by the Chinese.

What a message! We MUST change! Dare we hope that we shall?
Come on goldie. Even i know that society is too selfish for that. You only need to see the rush for sales, people shopping at the likes of primark. When has anyone ever paid more for something that is cheaper (providing its the same quality). Unfortunately that's just society in general.
What's a "bath chair" Uber? I haven't had a a bathtub in over 20 years, and then we used it to fill it with ice to keep the driinks for the parties cold, but not the chairs, Norway' cold enough already for that! So you think the chances of war in Europe are receding?! Very optimistic!
My mother in law famously announced last Christmas that she was never buying anything from China again. With absolutely impeccable timing the Amazon delivery man knocked on the door as soon as she had said that. We were at the dinner table and everyone was quiet as she opened it, thinking the same thing. "I bet that's from China". I said, verbalising what we were all thinking. She turned over the label of her new jumper very slowly to read very slowly "made in China". No doubt less funny on text but the timing was amazing and we were all in tears laughing. I have tried to buy less from China and less from Amazon but it is difficult.
Actually, a large part of the younger generation being socially aware have punished companies found to using Indian sweat shops etc. We aren't there yet, but if there are one or two recalcitrant countries taking inadequate steps on climate change, I could see no-buy campaigns
Yeah, that's really not going to work with my job! This is my commute for the first three days this week!!!
Biden has agreed to drop tariffs on steel exports from the EU. That should be a boost to our steel producers. Oh, wait a minute...
Cop 26 seems a lot of private jets ... Get rid of the monarchy when Lizzie ll dies. King Charles iii is a mentalist!
