      Company is beholden to the Chinese government, apparently that is worse than beholden to a manchid and a group of ultrarich shareholders.

        Rather ironically, BYD is probably closer to the “value investing” (realistic) value than most hyper-inflated western stocks, which completely decoupled from reality a long time ago…

          Regardless of value sentiment, I’d never consider investing in a Chinese stock. Too much risk that the CCP makes some big overnight change that torpedoes the price.

        Atleast Musk and Tesla shareholders aren’t commiting a genocide so the argument could be made that it indeed is less bad.
