@cjwerleman Most of ur message have fake images videos and news inputs. Seen many comments from India.
Why don't you revert them like this.
Don't know reality as m also far away. But it seems they are more genuine. Ie @NicolaCareem never come up with raw footage.
South Korea is the Most Cunning Partner India have :)
FDI Comparison if we do - Korea total investment in Vietnam is 13-14 times higher than in India. Vietnam economy is only 1/10th India's size.
Samsung alone exports $54 billion a year from Vietnam. India has huge market but gets less factories and jobs. Vietnam got the real manufacturing boom.
Even Recently Samsung going to build new factory there in Vietnam, in case of china we know the problem but in case of South Korea they do business under Radar, even this is bigger than i Imagine
How South Korea Used free trade deal with India is just a Case study - when yu read it in detail yu will get it.
Korea got a free trade deal (CEPA) in 2010. Under that deal, Korean goods entered India at zero or low duties.
Samsung, Hyundai, LG used this to sell massively into India - phones, cars, appliances.
India's imports from Korea went from $10B to $21B. India's exports to Korea actually fell - from $8B (FY22) to $5.8B (FY25). The trade deficit tripled from $5B to $15.2B.
But selling wasn't the only play. The real play was value extraction:
Hyundai - Paid itself a ₹10,782 crore special dividend (7.2x its normal payout), then did India largest IPO - 100% offer-for-sale. Every rupee of the $3.3B IPO went to the Korean parent.
Then raised royalty rates from 2.5% to 3.5% per car. Three moves, one after another, all designed to drain cash from the Indian subsidiary to Seoul.
LG - Same template. 100% offer-for-sale IPO, $1.4B to the Korean parent. The Indian subsidiary now trades at $12.5B market cap - higher than the Korean parent itself.
LG used Indian investors money to value an Indian business that it still controls and still pulls dividends from.
Samsung - Royalties paid to Korea jumped 50% to ₹3,322 crore in one year. After Korea changed its tax law in 2023 (no tax on foreign dividends coming home), Samsung pulled ₹22B worth of dividends from all overseas units in 9 months.
India was one of the biggest sources.
Combined - Hyundai + LG alone pulled $4.7B out of India in 12 months. All legal under CEPA. Best way to fuck RBI stricter Foreign Outflow
What Korea did in Vietnam (same period)
Korea put $92B of FDI into Vietnam. India got $6.7B. India economy is 10x Vietnam size. Samsung alone runs 6 plants in Vietnam, employs 100,000 people, exports $54B/year from there - that's 13% of Vietnam's entire exports.
Vietnam got factories + jobs + exports. India got imports + deficit + cash extraction.
Why Delhi stayed quiet for 15 years
Diplomatic politeness. Also, during 2010–2020, India negotiating leverage was weaker. India needed Korean investment, Korean tech, Korean defence platforms. So the imbalance was a known problem that time but that time of dealmaker didn't think of long term
MEA Secretary Kumaran publicly named the $15.2B deficit before President Lee landed. Commerce Minister Goyal called the 2010 CEPA irrational and lopsided. This was intentional signaling.
What India wants in CEPA 2.0 - Four things:
Services access - Indian IT exports to Korea are only $200M (vs $200B globally). India wants visa quotas for Indian engineers in Korean semiconductor/AI projects, and recognition of Indian professional qualifications.
Pharma access - Indian generic drug exports to Korea are just $167M. Korea has rules that kill generic price advantage. India wants those removed.
Forced local content - Like what Vietnam and Indonesia did. India wants 50% local value-addition by year 5, 70% by year 10. If you want to sell in India, build in India.
Reciprocal sourcing - For every $1B defence/steel/shipbuilding contract India gives Korea, Korea must buy equivalent value of Indian services, pharma, components.

@paraschopra The 📅 calendar selection for dob you need to modify. Looks like team missed to test it.
The year you can't jump, month wise user need to go back for selection of date. Nor even entry is manual editable.
“Why did you sell us a dream? You made us spend our youth, our wealth in this country and gave us a dream… We have worked hard for it. How can you as a vice president stand there and say that we have too many of them now and we are going to take them out to people who are here rightfully so by paying the money that you guys asked us? You gave us the path and now how can you stop it and tell us we don't belong here anymore?”
Queen I tell you.
Impressive statistic.
It brought back to me a vivid childhood memory:
Back in 1962, during the war with China, the government created a National Defence Fund and appealed to citizens to donate gold and jewellery for the defence effort. From information available on the net I saw that gold worth thousands of crores in today’s prices were collected for the fund. According to online sources, Punjab alone, apparently donated 252 kg gold
I clearly recall, as a seven-year-old, standing on the street in Mumbai (Bombay, at the time) with my mother when government trucks drove by, megaphones blaring appeals for citizens to donate their jewellery for the nation’s defence.
I can still picture her quietly gathering some of her gold bangles and necklaces, placing them in a cloth thaila, and handing them to the volunteers on the truck.
Would voluntary acts of that scale, spirit and trust still happen in today’s world?
That memory of 1962 reminds me that a country’s national resilience ultimately depends not just on policy tools, but on the collective will of its people.
India is a Strange Country tbh!
We have a Dog Lobby, a Pigeon Lobby.
But No Pothole Lobby, No Footpath Lobby, No Food Safety Lobby — the things that actually save lives. 🤦♂️
My father passed away a few years ago and what Steve Harvey says here is SO TRUE
“When a man's father dies, he realizes that the one man who truly wanted him to be better than him is gone … When my daddy died, I didn't have nobody to say they was proud of me.”

I came to the US in 2014 on a H1-B, with several years of prior experience as a C/C++ programmer. A “skilled white European immigrant” as some seem to call it recently here. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to work alongside absolutely exceptional so-called “skilled Indian immigrants”. Together, I tend to believe we've generated value for American consumers and created more jobs, many of which now filled by American people. We have in common that we came to this beautiful country to work hard, contribute to society and assimilate. In short, do our best to be a net positive for the nation.
I’ve been recruiting for Tesla for a long time across different teams, and can attest that I’ve never ever seen anyone prioritize “Indians” (or “Europeans”, “Asians”, etc.) over “Americans”. In fact, from a practical standpoint, it is much easier to hire American citizens since the company then doesn’t need to go through the hurdles of Visa transfers / sponsoring. But ultimately, what matters to us is to make America number One in our field.
We have positions wide open in AI & Robotics for the best talent as we speak. “Best” as in: a combination of personality, technical skills, and raw brain power. It is very hard to find people who score highly across these simultaneously. Either folks are very good, but not willing to work hard with us; or they’re hardworking, but don’t pass the bar technically. The last thing we want is some kind of DEI derivative.
I’m sure there could have been some amount of abuse through the industry, as in all domains, and it should be fixed. But too much energy is being spent on the wrong target here.
Let’s make America safe (cleanup illegal & criminal immigration) and great (build the best team across the board to win) again.

China has opened regular rail connection to Poland
China already has regular trains running to Germany
This week China also signed deals for high speed rail link to Vietnam
