I'm so using that. I am just unabashedly going to steal that!

Its the story that pretty much sums up India. Big promises, big talk, underdeliver, and scam job. Those tech startups were setup for the purpose of scamming investors of their money. They come up with a tech-based business plan, one of the easier types of business to setup, but very difficult to sustain. Indians, (I'm mostly referring to those mid-upper class, typically guys) are masters at selling any dream. Those startup founders bamboozled and charmed Western investors who have their very own anti-China agenda. It was an easy dream to sell: setup any Indian rivals to the Chinese corporate giants. When the game is up, then we see what is happening in that WSJ article. The business (not the 'entrepreneur') is called into question, and then it collapses. Those 'entrepreneurs' have already pocketed their money. You might think that they would be in trouble. But no, not in India. The government is part of the same game. They'll get their bribes and cuts to look away. After things cool down, those 'entrepreneurs' are back to setting up new startups and pitching for investments.
This tech startup scam job is not exclusive to India. But in India, it is much more culturally acceptable to scam and cheat than on any other place on earth. While scammers in other countries tend to hide their identities, and start running and hiding when they sense some incoming heat. Indian scammers are totally unapologetic. They'll fight you even when they're exposed. They'll call the cops on scam victims who come looking for them. They have been known to use lawfare and paid thugs on people who exposed them, and on any vengeful victims. They laugh at the victims that they scammed. Sounds like what criminal billionaires do? Well in India, even the low level scammers do this. Those who have listened to stories of Indian scam jobs, or have been scammed by Indians would have heard of all this.
India jumped on what it thinks is a massive opportunity, the West vs China Cold War. And while India is at it, why not fleece the gullible Westerners? The West is so easy to scam by the Indians. India has been chosen by them to be their 'Asian Champion', their very own pseudo 'China' to take down the dreaded real China. The more the West hedges on India, the deeper they are getting scammed. I look forward to the day that the West runs out of money for the Indians to scam. India has no loyalty or principles, it'll turn on the West and move on to scam the BRICS. While the West hates to be betrayed. Then we shall see how they turn on each other.

The anglos wanted decoupling, no?
The indian playbook is to infiltrate societies by forcing affirmative action and welfare gibs to their own people and promotions to their cousins, and as mentioned, are unapologetic and shameless in the sheer nepotism. They are effectively solipsistic and excuse any sin as “I’ll pay them back next life”. Once they form a critical mass as a voter bloc they will change the laws to import more of their own people. Benefiting India never even occurs to them except when they want to boast to other races.
Looking bad for vinfast premier:
From a ride and handling standpoint, the VF8 needs big-time help. The crap suspension damping and motion sickness–inducing body movements aren’t even the biggest issues. The steering response is nonlinear and inconsistent, and there is absolutely no feedback delivered through the wheel. It’s terrible, especially when you put the VF8 in Sport mode and the steering becomes so overboosted that it’s borderline uncontrollable. My car also pulled to the right on flat surfaces, so that’s fun.
I imagine some Viets in the US will lease one to flex to the community, but the moment someone wants a carpool to the beach or mountains...
They opened a Vinfast dealership in an upscale mall near me
It is neighbours with Tesla and Lucid, so they consider their car in the luxury class.
It's impressive how quickly they are able to get the full safety approval and distribution up and running even if the cars are no good.
No amount of looksmaxing can change that, unfortunately. Better invest money into that incelbot I was talking about.
Karma at work, things just get worse and worse....

The US Drug Enforcement Administration has issued an urgent public safety alert regarding the animal tranquilizer xylazine — warning it is now being used as a cheap cutting agent for fentanyl in 48 states.
The medication — known on the street as “tranq,” “tranq dope” and “zombie drug” — is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for veterinary use. However, it is not safe for human use as it
Often cut with heroin, dealers are now mixing it with fentanyl as an inexpensive way to make highs last longer amid the “disgraceful” killing up to 300 Americans per day.
“Xylazine is making the deadliest drug threat our country has ever faced, fentanyl, even deadlier,” DEA Administrator Anne Milgram said in the alert. “DEA has seized xylazine and fentanyl mixtures in 48 of 50 states.”
A rep for NYC’s Special Narcotics Prosecutor’s Office told The Post they had not yet released any hard data documenting the prevalence of xylazine in the Big Apple.
However, on Monday, Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan told the City Council Committee on Public Safety: “Xylazine is increasingly linked to overdose deaths in New York City. It has been present in the city for over a year and is now beginning to saturate the street market.”
Brennan also revealed that officers uncovered more than 44 pounds of fentanyl cut with the “extremely cheap to purchase” xylazine during a recent money laundering raid in Queens.
“We see it in our bulk seizures, as well as in user-ready glassines sold on the street,” Brennan told The Post. “It is usually found mixed with fentanyl [but] mixtures may also contain other drugs, like cocaine.”
The Drug Enforcement Administration has issued an urgent public safety alert regarding the animal tranquilizer xylazine, saying it is now being used as a cheap cutting agent for fentanyl in 48 states.
Meanwhile, the shocking new DEA statistic is sure to alarm Americans, as there has been little reporting about the rapid spread of the dangerous drug.
Last June, it was that xylazine had been discovered in 36 states, meaning its spread in the nine months since has been rapid and extreme.
Those who OD on xylazine do not respond any known antidote, according to an to health-care officials.
“The combination of xylazine and fentanyl is particularly lethal, because xylazine does not respond to the overdose reversing drug naloxone [},” Brennan told The Post.
“The DEA laboratory system is reporting that in 2022 approximately 23% of fentanyl powder and 7% of fentanyl pills seized contained xylazine,” Milgram said in the public safety alert, showing just how popular the drug has become as a mixing agent.
“People who inject drug mixtures containing xylazine also can develop severe wounds, including necrosis — the rotting of human tissue — that may lead to amputation,” she added.
Doctors are unsure why the wounds occur and fester, but the skin ulcers may be attributable to blood-vessel damage caused by the drug.
Accordingto the 107,735 Americans died between August 2021 and August 2022 from drug poisonings, with 66% of those deaths involving synthetic opioids like fentanyl.

“Philly’s supply is saturated. If other places around the country have a choice to avoid it, they need to hear our story.”
However, the drug has also been showing up in other major cities at an alarmingly high rate. Xylazine is now in 25% of opioid samples tested in New York City, according to the Times.
Last year, one Philly user xylazine-specific wounds near her opioid injection sites.
“I’d wake up in the morning crying because my arms were dying,” Tracey McCann, 39, told the New York Times.
“Tranq is basically zombifying people’s bodies,” 28-year-old user Sam, whose last name was withheld for privacy reasons, . “Until nine months ago, I never had wounds. Now, there are holes in my legs and feet.”

A drug user is seen in Philadelphia. Xylazine has worsened the drug epidemic there, and is now responsible for more than a quarter of overdose deaths in Pennsylvania as a whole.
Meanwhile there are fears that xylazine could worsen the drug epidemic in Los Angeles.
Dr. Gary Tsai, the director of substance abuse prevention and control with the LA County Department of Public Health, believes the drug’s prevalence “would increase deaths from overdoses.”
“The main concern is we’re already amid the worst overdose crisis in history, nationally and locally,” Tsai .
“This would increase deaths from overdoses.”

No it’s great. More room for BYD to expand.
Many of the ones i have known are still proud of being "Viet". Unlike hanjians attitudes over mainlanders. I haven't seen that type of hatred irl.
Not a single Uyghur was seen that day, not even a token NED stooge. Also, throwing a cake is weak; they need to take a lesson from shoe-throwing Iraqi protesters:
