Really good.
I endorsed it and I think it is really good.
And so I would like to try to understand companies also better like Huawei
Alibaba, BYD, as well as plenty of up-and-coming companies that I've never heard of that I think are working in some pretty interesting things.
Deepsea, all of these companies deserve much better profiles than what the Chinese government has allowed any reporters or any writers really to try to have access to.
These companies generally don't like to talk to foreigners at the best of times.
And then you have an overbearing state that in some cases forbids deep seek from chatting with foreigners.
But if we can get some real understanding of these companies, that would be amazing.
I think it would be great for China.
I want the U.S.
to be 20% more engineering and I want China to be 50% more lawyerly.
I think that it would be amazing if the Chinese state actually respected the creative impulses of its own people.
I think it would be amazing if individual rights could actually be respected.
I think there's...
a general Asian reticence towards real press.
And you can see this also among the Koreans as well as the Japanese.
But right now in this environment, I don't really see it in the cards because the US and China are in some form of an adversarial relationship.
Maybe Donald Trump will change that once he visits Beijing, as he's likely to do later this year.
I'm not really counting on it.
I think these two countries are pretty adversarial, and I don't see either the Chinese state or the American state really waking up one day and deciding that we're going to trust the other party and that we're going to be friends.
