Ali express? C'mon.

If I could find my electronics elsewhere and for a reasonable price, I would choose that but I can't. Government butchered the manufacturing industry, imposed ridiculous taxes (even increased them during the pandemic), custom duties and all sort of red tape which makes education for young generation harder. How can individuals work on the next generation robots, electronics, whatever if you can't even get decent micro controllers and brushless motors in india?

And it's not like big indian companies aren't selling data back to china. Majority of unicorns in india are taking investment from China. Paytm is china funded. Why don't they ban any investment from China?
