also did not know chinesium was a proper term, thanks!
Agreed I have been seeing BYDs in the national capital these days, they are surprisingly more common than I would think. Some cursory analysis suggests people aren't aware it is Chinese, like with MG Motors (Morris Garages) which are in a JV with Jindal. They research electric vehicles to buy and don't realise/care for the origin sometimes. I hope this happens though.
