Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko was shown a ‘domestic’ motorbike, trademarked ‘Minsk’, on August 16, but he wasn’t exactly satisfied with how ‘domestic’ it really is after learning more details…

    1. Now that’s how you talk to yore people, straight up, no pussy footing around
      No offence to china they are best, but the man is only looking out for his own and I respect that.

    2. Well if you don't buy from China the possibility is that China won't buy from you and you then in return losing a valuable market. China is the biggest consumers.

    3. This very short snippet of Lukashenko questioning his countrymen shouldn't be taken as being angry with the way he asked about "domestically" produced goods. He's not angry because most of the parts are made overseas or they are mostly "made in China". He just want to tell his countrymen the true meaning of "domestic products". Of course, it's quite impossible to challenge China in this regard because China is the world's largest manufacturer and they can produce much cheaper goods than any country.
      US try to force its allies to move their manufacturing base out of China in which they did to India and Vietnam however both failed miserably. Both countries could not handle the epidemic situation and production came to a standstill and lead to the collapse of production.

    4. In respect to President Lushenko, BRICS and the association of countries knows the importance of businesses in its member countries, it encourages exports and imports documentation for record keeping purposes, in order to account investments in the inventories, with this, it is to solidify the significance of BRICS and its programs, designed for eradication of poverty, while it maintains the Intellectual property rights of its owners that are under trade agreements based on BRICS/BREXIT. Since BRICS members are not for NATO, it aims to provide healthier businesses and standards. It is highly recommendable for BREXIT countries of EU to support one another's governments standards, wherein NATO alliance and nuclear disarmament are their standards for businesses in order to be progressive, while GDP is accounted/maintained accordingly. 2022 onwards.SMEs…not politically motivated practices are applied/implemented for development/growth. Respectively certain../././././././././././GM Industries.

    5. Only china got the supply chains and can get all the parts cheaply priced and quick, thats why tesla and western companies are making their stuff in china to keep the price down for the western customers.

    6. I think his point to his engineers is that because of the hostile external factors his country is facing, they should go above and beyond to be self relients especially in manufacturing of basic stuffs that's the only way to make one's country sanction proof.

    7. Then he need to ask. Do we got oil in ground to produce tires, paint, lights, etc? Do we mine metal for construction in Belarus? And at the end, "this product is not for export". Natural born idiot.

    8. This is called locally assembled…with imported items …not produced locally and many countries do that until their technology is much higher than just doing the assembled job.
      Good for him to feel disappointed and to expect more .

    9. As a Chinese, I quite agree with Mr. President's views. But the reality is that the manufacturing cost in Belarus is definitely higher than that in China, and then there is no complete industrial system. It takes a lot of money and time.Maybe Chinese enterprises can cooperate with Belarus to set up local manufacturing factories.

    10. I can tell you now even the design is also Chinese. The Chinese will give their customers the blue prints of a few designs to choose from and the customers selects one they like with perhaps a few minor alterations. And wahla, you have your domestic Belarusian bike or your American Nike shoes. You don’t have to believe me but those who know knows.

    11. It's good mindset from the president. Belarus does have factories to manufacture, tyres ect like he said, perhaps the problem it's the quality and costs which forces businesses to choose foreign made. In economics you can fight import by increasing import tariffs on certain goods In order to make the domestic market competitive,

    12. self reliance is more important now a days. zelensky's Ukraine has conducting proxy war against Russia and America and its Western allies sanctions against Russia and this is a lesson to the world who are depending on America and its Western allies.

    13. Promote and support local manufacturers to create local jobs; and inspire local peoples, particularly the young ones, in creating and inventing something for their communities and nation. Good for all people on earth! 👏👏

    14. He is not angry and he likes China. But he is an Soviet man that remembers that all been done domestically before and is frustrated why such a relatively simple machine as a motorbike is not being made fully locally.

    15. This bike is already designed and assembled in Belarus, but the president's idea of domestic means the components need to be made there. This might not be realistic for a country of 9 million people. But even if they could make it all domestically, how much would it cost?
