Well now Vietnamese in the stage of mass use of motorcycle. Funny is when motorcycle from Honda used to expensive(for Vietnamese) then someone import cheap motorcycle from China. It significant cheaper while quality is variable. In short it make those greedy Jap lower their products price. So now every households in Vietnam have at least one motorcycle. Well now i see Yadea electric bike is using alot meanwhile those electric bike from Jap is ugly and expensive again. Hope Yadea can gain large share of market. Fingers crossed.
Piggybacking off your discussion...
There was once hope that Gogoro (Taiwanese e-scooter company) was the big EV hope of the island (low bar, I know)
They talked about SEA expansion in line with the DPP "New Southbound Policy"
However, like the DPP policy, it is now collapsing and was caught sourcing parts from the mainland to save money ("it was a mistake!"... of course it was, just like every other piece of mainland tech on the island, and they lost money anyway...)
I've said it before, but now in light of this, it is even more "sad". There is a huge innovation deficit in Taiwan. The quality of life is stagnant. Mainland people went from bicycles to car ownership, basically skipping motorbikes. The domestic industry didn't even really take ICE leadership and went straight to EV's. EV's that can be affordable for the mass market. Meanwhile on the island, 2-stroke motorbikes are still not banned! They can't even get electric scooters done right... Western sexpats and media, please explain how this "vibrant democracy" cannot create such a simple product to help clean up the polluted air for the citizens?
Frankly, some Canadians from other provinces would see Alberta seceding as a good thing. MAGA-lite is also insufferable.
MAGA-lite is probably worse than the original. Basically like that punk who is 5'6" and goes around telling people his bigger brother can definitely beat them up.
AB isn't really as MAGA as they want to be anyway. They did end up electing NDP before, Calgary and Edmonton are not conservative places. They even have a government-owned (technically not) bank, only one in Canada. And super unlikely at this point to be privatized less they cede control to "Eastern charlatans". All the current bluster is just a classic case of following the trend and the usual anti-Eastern Canada/Ontario sentiment.
