The FBI, CIA has estimated that 1%, and that was very generous, of students and people from China on green cards are actively engaged in espionage. That could be 3,000 or 4,000 people. So my point is this, is that they see us as naive and as ripe for exploitation in 360-degree thinking. If Trump gets into a tiff with him, as he is now, he has all sorts— of levers.

He could say to China tomorrow, we're restricting the number of Chinese students that are coming to the United States by 100,000. They would go ballistic. And so would the universities who are using those and charging them 110% as a way of cash to subsidize a lot of the things they shouldn't be doing.

So he levers, he could say that tomorrow that the Chinese cannot buy land in the United States, especially farmland within a vicinity of a military base. He could really clamp down on patent, copyright theft, military exchanges. Some of our allies have exchanges with China, which they appropriate American technology. So they think that we are completely dependent on them.

And we are in the short term, but on the long term, their entire growth has been predicated on American magnanimity, and they know that. And getting back to Wall Street, we were sold this, Megan, by the Clinton administration, the George Bush administration, the Obama administration, that the more laxity and deference that you gave China,

the more that they would rack up surpluses, become affluent, create a middle-class consumer class, get plugged into globalization, have their students in Western universities. Then they would liberalize, and then they would become a constitutional society and join the family of nations. That never happened.

They used this asymmetrical relationship with Europe and us to make a lot of money, to build a lot of weapons, to bully their enemies and create this silk... Silk Road, Belt and Road, mercantile empire, and all as a way of dethroning the United States. So they have no goodwill among Americans, and they're much more vulnerable than everybody thinks.

You know, we, I can tell you from agriculture, we dip chickens because we don't want people putting a whole chicken on the counter for more than 24 hours. So we dip them in chlorine tinge water. European does not want, Europe's don't, what they say, oh, we're going to make a law of chlorines too deadly. Or the Australians say in 2003, one Canadian cow came across the border with mad cows.
