Re: Yamaha Motor headquarters raided
This would not effect thier other operations too much. For one thing, I'll bet that the Yamaha company that builds these little remote control helicopters and the Yamaha company that builds car engines are seperate entities.

Giving a dictatorship like China military technology epecially when there is a real risk of war with Taiwan is a grave mistake... Such a war would suck in the US fleet based in Japan and JDF... would be involved... Blindly going after profits is always folly
