Swedes Reclaiming Beauty, Then Having to Give it Up: This Could Build Character

The Original Saab Griffin Logo

The heraldic Griffin’s head – derived from the coats of arms of
the Skåne and Östergotland counties in southern Sweden
- traditionally symbolises vigilance.[Source]

What use is a symbol of vigilance which doesn't induce vigilance?

I remember people telling me that the Swedes make great cars. Volvo is one of them. The other is Saab.

I looked up Saab in Wikipedia, and this is what I found:

After struggling to avoid insolvency throughout 2011, the company [Saab Automobile AB] petitioned the Swedish court for bankruptcy following the failure of a Chinese consortium to complete a purchase of the company; the purchase had been blocked by former owner GM, which opposed the transfer of technology and production rights to a Chinese company. On June 13, 2012 it was announced that the National Electric Vehicle Sweden had bought Saab Automobile's bankruptcy estate.

When I read the first part of this paragraph, my thoughts were: "What is a Chinese company going to do with a Swedish car? How an it improve on it?"

Well, my thoughts were answered with the second part. The American company General Motors, which owns 50% of the company, shut down the transfer.

But that wasn't enough. I looked up National Electric Vehicle Sweden, and this is what I found:

National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB (NEVS) is a company which has acquired the main assets of Saab Automobile AB, Saab Automobile Powertrain AB and Saab Automobile Tools AB from the bankruptcy estate. NEVS is owned by Hong Kong-based National Modern Energy Holdings, an energy company with operations in China.

In May 2012, NEVS announced that it had submitted a bid for Saab Automobile's bankruptcy estate and planned to run an electric vehicle business at the Saab factory in Trollhättan.

Here is what one woman in Trollhättan says:

“Even in the darkest and hardest times, new hopes can be awakened through new possibilities,” said Birgitta Simson, a 52-year-old deacon at the Swedish Church in Trollhaettan. “We have to believe that God cares about our city and that in the darkest hours, a possibility can come from the most unexpected direction.”

I suppose all people can do is pray. But, if her countrymen willingly cause her desperation, then how can God answer such prayers?

And my question still stands: how is a Chinese company going to improve on a Swedish design? I think it will continue to hire Swedes to make these superior cars, while running the overall business themselves, including acquiring the profits and other benefits.

For how long will Swedish engineers and factory workers (like Brigitta) put up with this?

It is probably a good thing that the Chinese (Asians in general) are so aggressive. Eventually, people will react to what they're doing, and forcefully.

I keep saying that about the mixed couples of White men and Asian women I see all around me here in Mississauga. At some point, the rejected white women and the culturally and socially sophisticated white men (and the poor white men that these materialistic Asian women don't want), will realize what is going on.

And this is what the Swedes can build:
