They've still got huge press operations.

They're providing funds to political candidates all over the Western world.

So they still have huge assets in place.

And they have some assets that really the Russians and the Soviets for sure never had business.

So you've got this massively potential, potentially anyway, profitable Chinese market.

And the Chinese can say to a big international bank or a tech company or a manufacturer of some sort, you're welcome to come to this nice Chinese market.

We'll be happy to have you if you operate in a way consistent with our political interests.

So a number of the agents of influence now are Western businesses.

The big banks, for example.

Wow.

And tech.

Which the Soviet and the tech.

Since it's China, China didn't, excuse me, the Soviet Union never had that kind of asset.

I mean, pretty much all of our businesses.

Well, an awful lot of them operate in China, don't they?

Apple, most of its manufacturing for a long time was in China.

So they're really, they've got a noose around their necks in terms of being controlled,

susceptible to pressure from the Chinese.

They're beginning now, as I understand, to put manufacturing plants in other countries, but they're still heavily committed to China.

Is it too late to reverse this stuff?
