@globalcitizen_K @kejimao Agreed, so do you think, since China has prospered a lot, it's high time they adopt democracy?

[Rat_fly @raysubrata]

@ashumadan4 Major problem .. you need to consider the nominal GDP numbers while considering $ .. bit strange coming from a broking house

[Rat_fly @raysubrata]

@sab_maya_hai__ Also check how many of these have already received distinguished alumni awards at IITs & IIMs .. rest we can agree to disagree

[Rat_fly @raysubrata]

@sab_maya_hai__ You are comparing today's preference with what happened 35 years back .. when people like Prashant graduated .. and he was ranked right near the top of his class ..

[Rat_fly @raysubrata]

@GulPanag I don't think such idiotic stunts diminishes anyone .. best to just ignore such cheap gimmicks

Norwegian journalist Helle Lyng Svends @HelleLyngSvends has become a growing embarrassment for Norway’s citizens and our Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre @jonasgahrstore . What should have been a proud moment for Norway @norwaymfa hosting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi @PMOIndia @narendramodi for the first time in 43 years, awarding him the country’s highest civilian honor, signing a Green Strategic Partnership with 12 new agreements on clean energy, sustainability, health tech, digital cooperation, and trade was instead hijacked by her personal grandstanding and turned into an international spectacle that makes Norway look rude, entitled, and diplomatically clumsy.This wasn’t a full open press conference. It was a joint statement session with clear protocols. Modi followed standard procedure for such high-level bilateral visits: brief remarks, handshake, and exit. Yet Helle positioned herself as the hero, later tweeting that Modi “would not take my question” while waving the World Press Freedom Index (Norway #1, India #157). She framed it as brave journalism. Most Norwegians see it as embarrassing performative activism that damages our national interests.Norway’s relationship with India matters. We are building real partnerships in the green transition exactly the kind of cooperation Norwegians expect from our government. Billions in potential investments, jobs, technology sharing, and climate goals. Modi’s visit was substantive diplomacy. Instead of highlighting these achievements, the global narrative became “Modi dodges questions in free Norway” thanks to Helle’s viral 16-second clip. This helps no one except her personal brand.Real journalism holds power to account, but there’s a time, place, and manner. Ambushing a foreign head of government during a state visit on Norwegian soil, in front of our own Prime Minister, crosses into disrespect. It signals to the world that Norway cannot host important partners without turning events into awkward confrontations. What message does this send to leaders from Germany, the US, China, or Saudi Arabia? Come to Oslo at your own risk?Helle’s approach reflects poorly on Norwegian citizens who value pragmatism, politeness, and results over viral outrage. Many of us are cringing. We pay taxes for competent foreign policy, not for journalists to chase personal clout at the expense of our Prime Minister’s hard work. Støre stood there politely while our guest was effectively ambushed. This undermines the goodwill built over months of preparation.The World Press Freedom Index she brandished is published by Reporters Without Borders — an NGO with its own biases, selective sourcing, and inconsistencies. India is the world’s largest democracy with a raucous, competitive media landscape. Modi has been elected multiple times by 1.4 billion people. He chooses his communication style Mann Ki Baat, controlled interviews, direct voter outreach and has stuck to it for over a decade. That’s his prerogative as India’s leader. Norway’s press norms do not dictate how foreign elected leaders behave on our soil. By shouting during a joint briefing and then spinning the walk-off as cowardice, Helle ignored the substance: cultural exchanges, economic deals, shared Arctic and Indo-Pacific interests. She made it about “her question.” This self-centered stunt fuels stereotypes of arrogant Europeans lecturing the Global South. India is a rising superpower and vital partner, not some dictatorship to be publicly shamed. Her actions risk harming Norway��s reputation as a serious, respectful actor on the world stage.Norwegians pride ourselves on being practical and solution-oriented. We understand that diplomacy requires tact. Shouting at guests during photo-ops achieves nothing constructive. If Helle has legitimate concerns about press freedom in India, there are better forums: op-eds, interviews with Indian journalists, or private diplomatic channels. Turning a bilateral summit into her personal protest makes Norway look unserious and weakens Støre’s position.This incident highlights a deeper issue with parts of legacy Norwegian media: more activism than balanced reporting. Many citizens already distrust mainstream outlets for prioritizing ideology and clicks over national interests. Helle’s behavior reinforces that skepticism. She is becoming a symbol of why some Norwegians roll their eyes at Dagsavisen commentators more focused on international virtue-signaling than serving Norwegian readers or advancing pragmatic foreign policy. PM Støre deserves better. His government invested time and resources to strengthen ties with India at a time when energy security, green tech, and diversified partnerships are critical. Helle’s grandstanding risks poisoning the atmosphere for future cooperation. Indian officials and citizens noticed. The replies to her post were filled with Indians pointing out the format was never a full Q&A, questioning why a Norwegian journalist feels entitled to hijack their PM’s visit.We should expect more from our journalists. Question leaders yes. But do it professionally, not by turning important state visits into cringe-worthy viral moments that embarrass the host nation. Norway’s citizens want a media that informs, not one that performs. We want a Prime Minister who can deliver results without his events being derailed by ego.Helle Lyng Svends is increasingly becoming an embarrassment not just for herself, but for all of us who value Norway’s reputation as a competent, respectful country. It’s time for reflection in Norwegian media circles: Is this the image we want the world to see? A nation of serious partners or lecturing activists chasing likes? Enough with the stunts. Focus on the deals that actually benefit Norwegians energy, jobs, technology, and a stable world order. Our Prime Minister and our country deserve diplomacy that works, not viral embarrassment.

@kejimao Ok, but I was thinking beyond the language.. anyways I respect your opinion 👍

[Rat_fly @raysubrata]

@kejimao The cultural differences could also be potentially clogging diplomatic channels between the two countries

[Rat_fly @raysubrata]

@kejimao Could it be also possible, you were able to communicate better with Vietnamese people? There is also a communication angle in cultural differences between China & India .. which no one can ignore

这次美国访华晚宴坐在马斯克和库克中间C位最亮眼的，是蓝思科技创始人周群飞，从农村打工妹到中国女首富，完全没有任何背景全靠自己白手起家。她出生在湖南的一个小村庄，5岁时母亲去世，父亲也因工伤残疾双目失明，家徒四壁，16岁交不起学费被迫辍学去广东打工，在一家工厂流水线打磨玻璃，白天干活，晚上疯狂自学，考了会计证、电脑操作证等技能证书，就这样过了几年，她拿着靠打工攒的2万块，拉上哥哥姐姐、嫂子姐夫等8个亲戚，在深圳开了一家小作坊，做手表玻璃加工，她一个人修机器、跑销售，就这样又干了4年。
到了2000年后手机行业开始大规模发展，一次偶然的机会她的手表玻璃厂接到了TCL手机屏幕的订单，她看到了手机玻璃市场的巨大潜力，于是迅速成立了蓝思科技，专门负责手机玻璃的生产��发和销售，一开始只做国产手机和山寨机，但是直到有一次想谈下摩托罗拉的订单，但外企的质量要求非常严格，她赌上几乎全部的资源配合摩托罗拉，拿下了全球销售超过1亿台的V3订单，直接把蓝思科技推到了行业领先位置，随后顺利拿下诺基亚、三星等外企。
关键的转折点又一次出现在了2007年，当时乔布斯发布初代iPhone，彻底把手机往全玻璃触屏的方向变革，乔布斯那变态的工艺要求全球都找不到符合的厂商，周群飞敏锐的意识到这又是一个巨大的机会，于是带领团队和苹果工程师联合攻关了3个月，突破关键工艺，成功量产了第一代iPhone玻璃面��，从此拿下苹果长期合同，后续的iPad、MacBook等几乎所有苹果设备全部都交给了蓝思科技，也帮助蓝思科技在触摸玻璃面板领域成为全区最大公司。
这也是为什么她能坐在库克旁边，那为什么马斯克也坐在她旁边呢？
蓝思科技在玻璃面板干到全球第一后，开始往更加多元的智能化设备发展，包括汽车座舱和机器人，其中汽车领域包括车窗、中控等已经拿下了特斯拉、宝马、奔驰、理想等30家车企，机器人领域则主要负责关节、传感器等部件，这些都和马斯克的业务有深度重合。
一个15岁辍学只有初中文凭的女生，从湖南农村出来白手起家成为中国女首富，40年后进入中美会谈，坐在了马斯克和库和中间，这就是周群飞的故事。

Boarded on a flight to India.

I have made this journey ~100 times over the past 45 years. But this time, it feels different.

Beginning of a new chapter.

@tehseenp He promoted violence all the time

[Rat_fly @raysubrata]

@RMantri The failure is on the cost and taxation side imposed on the companies.. the industry is not making super normal profit

[Rat_fly @raysubrata]

@RMantri If they hotel industry really had high entry barrier and consequently they were fleecing ... The financials should have been great .. just check the RoCE for the last 10-20 years for hotel companies

[Rat_fly @raysubrata]

@MumukshuSavitri The people who come on medical visa are likely well off and won't stay back .. they are not same as illegals

[Rat_fly @raysubrata]

@tehseenp Every industry claims they contribute a high single digit or double digit number to our GDP.. if we add all this up, our GDP should be much bigger 😌
