When the 25 year import ban ends

Hey Máté,

Hey Máté,

Actually, the Swedish Unions and Volvo management were the first to push for Geely to purchase them. That must speak volumes of Geely.

You mean, Russians? That said, Geely is a company that has no ties to the Communist party. the extraordinary thing about them is that they're one of the rare private industrial companies in China.

Once again, as someone who is actively involved in European business (including Italian business), i think i can pass judgement that you greatly overestimate how "clean" the Italians are. They're pretty shady, just a tad better than the Chinese, but barely.

Nothing can be as bad as how Ford raped Volvo of their technology and left them to rot. BLIS, EUCD (which was developed by Volvo), Ford D3/D4 platforms, etc are all taken from Volvo.

You mean barely less corrupt.
