Well, this administration has decided there are consequences to stealing IP and not playing by the rules and not giving assets to markets and using our capital markets by not playing by the rules of GAAP. And all of these things are coming to a head.

I mean, I hate to use this analogy, but it's a good one. This is like squeezing a teenage pimple. That's what's going on here. And they're going to keep squeezing until the acne is gone. And it's going to get ugly, but it's going to get resolved because China can't afford not to have access to the world's largest economy. They just can't. Otherwise, everybody would be unemployed there.

But it's sort of a nasty situation. But I'm frankly happy that we're finally doing this. As a guy, I've said this countless times. I do business in China, and I've been royally screwed. And I'm tired of it. I'm just sick of it. And I speak for millions of entrepreneurs that have been screwed in China for 20 years. We're done. Fix it. I'm okay with this volatility. I'd like to get it fixed.

As soon as it gets to 5 million in sales domestically, the same factories that are making it there knock it off and sell it at a 40% discount because they never have to recoup the R&D that the company put into making the product in the first place.
