If you played a boardgame, wouldn't you be upset if someone won the game easily, because they decided to just break all the rules?

The rules where retail companies can extract value for no added value from consumers? And no the rules has not changed. It has always been allied to compete with importers trying to screw over consumers. Which law are you claiming was changed?
The rules that make someone responsible for when a product is dangerous or broken.

How does that not add any value?

Temu is free to take the same responsibility, but they don't.

what kind of board game has rules buy for one coin, do nothing, sell for 10 coins?
If it was that simple, surely someone would undercut all the retailers that follow the rules - while also following the rules.

Temu is just deliberately ignoring any rules.

Monopoly
So Temu/Aliexpress fixes the rules not breaks them. OP shouldn't be upset.
How are the rules broken? How does Temu fix then?

We have rules that should prevent companies from selling broken and dangerous crap. Should I not be upset that Temu ignores those rules deliberately and floods the EU with exactly that?
