Almost everything that we produce online is blocked in China. When Americans like us go to China, and say free trade is great, that only works if both sides are playing by the same rule. This is an example of one side.

And when I say this, I'm talking about before the recent tariffs that went up, but one side largely playing by the rules of free trade and one side essentially creating a closed market and exporting dumping materials on the rest of the world. So it's a completely unbalanced system. It doesn't work in anybody's favor outside of China.

And we need to do what we can to separate some of these industries to ensure that what's happening in China is reciprocal to what's available in the U.S.

It's a false equivalence, and it's something that a lot of people do say, but it's just it's flat out wrong. American companies do take data. And there are terms in the agreement that are guardrails against how your data is used. On top of that, we have a system of checks and balances of courts and independent judiciary in America. So if something were to happen, you do have some kind of recourse.

To say that the United States, the government, the democracy of the United States is comparable to a one-party authoritarian regime is just flat out wrong. And the thing about China is that that data that you put in, whether it's in DeepSeek or it's in TikTok or whatever it might be, that data is accessible in China. The Chinese Communist Party, if they want it, they can get their hands on it.

You don't know how they're using it, but we do know that this is a party that puts millions of people in concentration camps. Do you want those people having access to your data, to your kids' data? Whether or not you know what they're doing with it, you can see that this is a pretty evil regime, and we do want to separate... the data that exists here in America versus what's accessible in China.

It is incredible. So just to interject one thing, I've been working on a PhD for a long time, and seeing these advances, it feels as if You know, that years and years of work on a PhD, it's like, oh, man, you know, a chatbot can do this. What was the point? Yeah, what was the point of all that?
