I remember reading comments on EV communities & the people there were giving the benefit of doubt(sometimes even praises) to this unknown company while simultaneously shi*tting on BYD, an established automaker lol.

This mentality was also reflected in a review of this car by some Norwegian YT'ber, his review of this car VS Chinese cars is a stark contrast. Every time something in the car went wrong such as rattling doors, he just says its not the final version. But when he reviews a Chinese car, he always jokes about Made-in-China & joked about how Chinese EVs are heavy because of 'Chinese steel' Not to mention, being nitpicky about every little thing in the Chinese car.

That guy became anti-China in his commentary and reviews the more his channel got popular. The comment section was accusing him of being a wumao, and the fact that he's of mixed heritage must have wounded his Norwegian bleeding heart and decided to placate the racists rather than those of people like myself and others that assumed his channel was worthy of subscription based on substance. I am only speculating, but it seems to some hapas shitting on Chinese is their way to earn back their western points. As for Vinfast, most of the people who professed affection for the product are pure metaphorical and political rhetoric since none of them will actually buy that product for obvious reasons. It's one thing to rant off on the internet but it's quite a different matter when those type of people have to spend their hard earned money on something that's not exactly cheap let alone of quality.

Just like most Americans, those kind of Europhiles will bite their tongue and buy themselves wumao NEVS then continue to slag China and anything Chinese on their electronic products that are made by Wumaos of China. For us Chinese, I can call that a WIN-WIN.

Powerful bloc? I think you're mistaking Indian CEOs and puppet politicians for real power. The Jews elites in the West are in control of banks, investment firms, media, science labs, and Hollywood. They are the shareholders who direct the CEOs. They are the lobbyists who direct the politicians. That is what true power looks like.

The elite Indians in the West are mostly CEOs and puppet politicians. There are a few billionaires like Mittal and Tata buying up stuff in the West. But they don't have nearly the same influence in Western societies as the Jew elites.

It's not clever. That is what Indians do. They are masters at selling and boot licking. They'll coddle up to anyone in a superior position to gain some advantage. Don't mistake that as friendship. They'll abandon you as soon as you don't benefit them. They'll even scam you when they sense the opportunity.

Indian immigrants are not taking control of companies and politics. Like I have mentioned many times before. They are master yesmen, the perfect servant. CEOs in big corporations are not owners. They are the chief of the servants. Serving the shareholders. Shareholders today hate being told no. Competent CEOs will tell them no once in awhile. Not Indian CEOs. Indian politicians in the West are not taking control of anything. Rishi Sunak's policies are indistinguishable from Liz Truss. He has no say in things. Kamala Harris is more like a Biden cheerleader. She says standard stuff. She adds nothing new. Indian Republican politicians scream about introducing the NRA into Taiwan. Any white NRA Republican fanatic could have said that.

Indians sell their souls to anyone who could give them a leg up in their lives. They would promise the world to their benefactors and blame others for failures. And while they are add it, they would also scam their benefactors too.


There is no yin and yang between India and China. India is among a long line of idiot nations whom the West wishes to recruit against China. If India is a yin, then so as Japan, SK, Australia, Lithuania, the PH, etc.

India's foreign policy is nothing smart at all. India is 'friendly' to everyone? Look closer. India is friendly only to the West, and Russia. The developed countries. But India is hostile and judgemental to other lesser nations, especially it's Asian neighbours. India insults and bullies it's lesser Asian neighbours. India insults and tries to bully nations in the Middle East, SEA. Africa is out of reach, but India is not reaching out to them in any appreciable manner. That is a dumb foreign policy. It'll win India only friends from the developed world, who have their own agendas for India. India is like that pathetic spineless poor kid in school. Cuddling up to the cool kids to join their club, whie abandoning his fellow poor friends and family. When the cool kids ask him to arm-twist his poor brother to extort money for them, he'll gladly do it without qualms. Without shame and remorse. That is how India works today.

The only thing to learn from India is how not to become a serious nation. Despite starting out much better than China in 1947, India has 1/5th the economy of China today. Indian foreign policy is duplicitous. While it shows friendship, it also does things against them. For example, bullying Western businesses in India. Or following the West in humiliating Russia in the last G20. India is also unapologetically proud of it's oligarchic economy. Proudly elevating it's billionaires while ignoring the have-nots. India's policies are all loud and noisy, but hollow in implementation. The result? Even with a population comparable to China. Even with favourable opinions from the West and Russia. India remains stuck in the low-middle income economy.

India is sending its brightest people to the West, yet it owns nothing. Does the govt of India own Microsoft? Does it own the UK parliament? India is licking the boots of the West, because it thinks the West would give it economic opportunities to become as big and powerful as China. Judging from India's cultural nature, it won't truly know how the West will manipulate it into becoming another neo-colony. The West will aim to stagnant India's economy and brain drain it's brightest to the West. China managed to block Western plots to turn it into a neo-colony. From 1989 all the way to Ant Group's IPO delisting. India is not doing that, it fully embraces the West, thinking that it is an honorary Asian member of the West. India is willingly becoming a neo-colony of the West.

Luckily for India, the West is running out of time. There appears to not be enough economic and political runway left for the West to recolonize India. But when the West abandons India, it'll will be left in an isolated position in Asia. But knowing India. It'll be shameless, and will attempt to woo BRICS next. Starting off course, with Russia. At that time, it is actually best to keep India at arms length, it should not to be trusted at all. It'll mess up the BRICS when it senses the opportunity. It'll scam any naive BRICS members, especially Russia. I predict that Russia will go through their own painful lesson of getting too close with India in due time.

I don't think it's fair to compare Indian people to Jewish people. Jewish people control those companies and industries because they created them. Jewish people founded most of the major entertainment companies in the United States (Marvel, Warner Bros., Universal Studios, Fox, Paramount, Columbia Pictures, etc.) Jewish people founded Goldman Sachs and BlackRock. They also founded major software companies like Google, Meta, and Oracle. They founded OpenAI. Lilienfeld, an Austrian Jew, invented the field-effect transistor, which is the backbone of the digital economy and other Jewish people founded important semiconductor companies like Qualcomm, Broadcom, and Fairchild Semiconductor. Jewish people have made more scientific breakthroughs than I can count. In short, Jewish people played a huge role in the rise of the United States.

Indian people, for the most part, infiltrate companies and institutions that they played no part in creating. Once they are firmly entrenched in those companies and institutions, they almost exclusively hire and promote other Indians. This is the modus operandi of the Indian people in foreign countries. They are great at maintaining companies founded by other people, but they are not so great at creating companies. In short, Indians may be present in prosperous countries, but they are certainly not the source of that prosperity, unlike Jewish people.

• China recorded its first population decline in six decades last year and its birth rate hit record low
• “I’m not a celibate, but I am very likely to remain single all my life because marriage is not even among my top three priorities,” she said. “There are just so many other things I want to pursue.”
• Some demographers and officials have called for a return to traditional Chinese family values
• “In the late 20th century, with the rise of individualism, feminism and materialism, the second demographic transition, featuring a disconnection between marriage, family and procreation, started taking place in Europe,” he said. “It had an extensive impact on the younger generation in China in the new century via globalisation and wide internet coverage. “It came as a great blow to our traditional family culture, leading to a growing number of untraditional families such as those being single in old age, common-law partners, and ‘dual income, no kids’ couples.”

Well funny enough my wife did want one of those bags but nowadays has the common sense not to bother with it. True most woman have a very huge desire to have luxury goods like LV but not all are seduced to the point of wanting it at all cost (future situations none withstanding). But well losing Italy as a source of luxury goods isn’t going to be all that bad in the long run, I mean eventually they will come crawling back once this woman leads Italy into hell and Italy needs someone to bail them out, because let’s be very honest, the USA and the EU will never be able to bail the ‘‘em out because they already have multiple nations needing the same thing while the EUs greatest economy (Germany) is in tatters as per Ursula words. Right now, expanding the Belt and Road into Europe as it is now is not going to happen given the current crisis in Ukraine. Besides there are other areas to expand to first that are closer and more useful in terms of resources first. Let Europe settle down first and the current crop of EU officials like Ursula and Borell get the boot first before China wastes any time with them

Well bro within 5 years when I travel to China for a business trip, she will ask me to buy her a Huawei MATE series phone. I can see it coming and she doesn't need to ask me cause I'll buy one for her so she can detoxify her Apple addiction....lol

Yesterday the news broadcasts here in Europe broke this news. The bureaucrats in Brussels really think we are idiots, presenting these unrealistic figures on Ukrainian casualties in order to continue aid to Ukraine:

Ukraine lost fewer than 15,000 troops, EU countries’ intelligence says

Ukraine’s armed forces, gearing up to retake the eastern city of Bakhmut this spring, have altogether lost fewer than 15,000 troops since the Russian invasion began last February, according to excerpts of an internal EU memo seen by EURACTIV.

Since the start of Russia’s war in Ukraine, very few numbers related to personnel and equipment losses on the Ukrainian side have been made publicly available, with Kyiv and its Western allies reluctant to reveal any critical information to Russia.

In November, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen came under fire for publishing and then unpublishing a video containing what appeared then to be a very high estimate of 100,000 killed Ukrainian military officers, prompting a backlash from Kyiv.

Russian losses are higher than Ukrainians

In what appears to be one of the first semi-official estimates that made its way to the West, an internal document in the hands of the EU diplomatic service, seen by EURACTIV, put the losses of Ukraine’s armed forces at 13,000 personnel killed during combat, with an additional 35,000 wounded in action.

The document also noted that according to US estimates, Kyiv has lost 17,500 personnel killed in action, and a total of 124,000 to 131,000 people disabled, whether from wounds, death or disappearance, or other reason.

Still, the document, based on the Ukrainian communication to member states, media reports, and intelligence leaks, assessed that the Ukrainian losses are lower than the US estimates.

The internal memo seen by EURACTIV said Ukrainian officials asses that 185,000 Russians were killed during the course of the war and 555,000 were wounded.

G-7 vows to take 'necessary' steps to stop Russia evading sanctions​

NIIGATA, Japan -- The Group of Seven wealthy economies vowed to counter attempts to undermine economic sanctions on Russia, sending a warning to countries such as India that trade with Moscow.

A joint statement released Saturday by the bloc's financial ministers and central bank governors after a three-day finance meeting in Niigata included plans to enhance support for developing nations. This reflects the G-7's recognition that more engagement with non-members is necessary to prevent non-democratic states such as Russia and China from enhancing their influence through economic ties.

"We reiterate our unwavering support for Ukraine for as long as it takes and are united in our condemnation of Russia's illegal, unjustifiable, and unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine," the statement said. The G-7 will "take any necessary and appropriate enforcement actions required" to counter "any attempts to evade and undermine our sanction measures" and will "call on other countries" to join them.

"We were able to firmly confirm that the G-7 will respond in a more united manner to major international issues" such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Japanese Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki told reporters.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that the bloc had "teams traveling around the world conducting joint engagements to identify new disruptive evasion networks" in their efforts to "choke off sanctions evasion."

The G-7 has been seeking countermeasures against

to Russia from China, India and Turkey, which they believe is limiting the impact of the current economic sanctions.

The meeting also focused on Beijing's oversized role in critical supply chains, especially clean technologies like solar panels and electric vehicle batteries.

The G-7 is "currently developing" a partnership with "interested countries," the World Bank and relevant international organizations to help poorer nations play a bigger role as suppliers of such businesses. The bloc aims to launch the initiative "by the end of this year at the latest," the joint statement said. Details on funding will be decided later, Suzuki said.
