  The “China Export Symbol” resembling the CE marking is actually a racist urban legend

      They just threw racist on there, it’s not referenced in the text whatsoever.

        I reviewed the allegation. It’s racist. Why are you defending this?

    I’m inclined to believe that it’s not just “not respecting the proportions” but rather manufacturers putting a fake logo to create the appearance of safety.

      I’m inclined to believe that it’s not just “not respecting the proportions” but rather manufacturers putting a fake logo to create the appearance of safety. From your link:

      “The Commission was also aware of fraudulent misuse of the mark on products that did not comply with the standards, but that this is a separate issue.”

      Why would you be inclined to believe that manufacturers of non-conformant products would be intentionally using an incorrect version of the logo instead of the correct one, which they could use just as easily?

      And why haven’t you edited your comment to remove that image making the false claim that a CE mark with incorrect proportions is called a “China Export Symbol”?
