Saudis are extremely competent in internal security. this a country where there upto 55% of people are immigrant at a time. (workers, tourists, pilgrimage). they would have been even more wealthy if they were not surrounded by failing states.

I hear during the 1979 Siege of Mecca's Grand Mosque, the extremely competent Saudi forces dropped grenades to target the rebels but ended up killing a multitude of hostages. It turned out that the Saudis were over-competent for the job and had to then contract French GIGN forces to finish the work. I can't imagine anybody even seizing the holiest of holy sites in the world, especially one guarded by the extremely competent Saudis.

I dont know if it's govt or any other factors involved, hence that was my question. But i do know for a fact from multiple sources that alot of luxury brands are not performing as forecasted because they're underperforming in the 'Chinese' segment, overseas and local. My network ofcourse does not cover all the brands nor representative of majority of the global brands, but some of them are top tier global brands thjat 99% of the people here I'm sure have heard of. Perhaps my sample size is not representative of the entire industry, but it's a space to keep an eye on.

Edit: Did some google research:

One of the brands is mentioned in one of the links, so some validation to what i heard today and this is ongoing. TBH, didnt make sense importing all these with 10-20-30x mark ups.

I said this in another thread so I will repeat it again.

As Aldous Huxley noted, Indians were already wewuzzing 100 years ago. What they would do is wait for some discovery or invention created by another country to come out. Then they will claim that this invention originally came from India by citing some vague thing in some ancient Scripture or whatever . So using the above example, king fu which first came from Shaolin (actually it came way before otherwise how did the warring states know how to fight so well), it is somehow Indian because some guy from apparently from India set up the Shaolin temple.of course if you ask why don't they have the specifics to produce it themselves over in India and show us how it should be done, they will dodge the question.

So you should ask these Indians, since ancient India invented everything, what stuff do they have there specifically stated that modern science cannot produce today?

I am getting tired of bashing Indians. But they really deserve it. Even those crazy black nationalists or neo nazis aren't as infuriating as the average Indian sometimes. Show some gratitude since you needed guys like the British to rediscover your history since you guys didn't do a proper job preserving it.

Why don’t these Europeans do as they suggested to the Chinese back during the 2009 Uighur riots and stabbings and let these extremists freely propagate to the youth of Germany?

mind you, if is hig coincidental that ISIS rears its ugly head whenever israel needs world attention away from its genocide, the way Israelis and Zionists try to direct American anger towards China and away from Israel.
