I get bombarded with EV manufacturers from China, non stop. One uses countless different variations of email address to do it. It is a total PITA. No unsubscribe option, nothing. GDPR won't do a thing, what a waste of time that is.

Same here, no way of unsubscribing. I think my email got on a list somewhere and sold to every Chinese manufacturer known to man.

Even blocking sender or marking as junk doesn't work as, like you say, their email addresses keep changing. GDPR is certainly not a consideration in China.

Try Mailwasher Pro; you can create filters to auto-delete and/or bounce based on sender, title, subject etc. https://www.firetrust.com/products/mailwasher-pro

I've used it for years.

Actually, China’s equivalent PIPL ( link) is very much a consideration. PIPL replaces an earlier set of reg’s, amusingly abbreviated as PISS. I spent a year working on compliance with China regulations for my global employer

What you do about filing a complaint from here is a different matter…
