and if you see the parent starting to replace Volvo engineers with Chinese nationals you will witness sudden change of heart by US officials; until then it really is just a financial fiction

How exactly does the fact that this goes through a subsidiary in Sweden change the things you mentioned?

Apparently, whether or not the engineers are Chinese is the deciding factor. as long as Nicklas Backstrom is designing the EV, its all good. Or in other words, Chinese scary!

Chinese nationals should be assumed to act on behalf of China, it really isn't difficult to understand even for pathologically empathetic people.

I acknowledged this, you quoted it.

> it really isn't difficult to understand...

Where does 'it' end? Is the subsidiary not operating at the behest of their parent? I need to know when it's safe to no longer be scared.

That's fine, but what stops those Chinese nationals at Geely from messing with their cars now?
