No idea why your comment is downvoted. By buying Volvo products you are supporting a hostile power, China. A country that does not even allow our companies to operate in China without nonsense restrictions like joint ventures with local companies that strip our companies out of IP and know how.
Due to the recent events in Ukraine and Russia things like this should be really talked about.
- qzw 4y agoI believe China recently removed the joint-venture requirement. It's either a sign that China's maturing and slowing economy is no longer so attractive that they can impose such an onerous requirement, or that China thinks it's already gotten everything out of Western companies and now is at technological parity. Or maybe both.

- frozencell 4y agoI accept the downvotes, I don't say Volvo cars are not "good", "fun" or whatabout. Not my point. I do not want to interfere with anyone having fun with Volvo cars.
- pjmlp 4y agoI love how people keep complaining about China, while buying "Made In China" products every single day, somehow buying habits and morals don't get in sync.
