[DrLeftover]

Chinese communities are being targeted by scammers who trick older women out of their valuables by persuading them their loved ones are in danger.

After a wave of cases on the streets of the UK, US, Australia and Canada, police are investigating and victims' families are trying to find the perpetrators.

They won't.

Why? Because Washington needs New Delhi as a bulwark in South Asia agst. Chinese aggression in the region; Modi knows this and I suspect Trudeau does as well.
