Chinese people know where the political red lines are.

And they know how the political winds are shifting.

And so there's really no questioning of the government.

Tell me.

If you want a healthy, creative, resilient society, you need free and open debate.

The best thing about America is the First Amendment.

The best thing is that anyone can criticize the president.

And there's rigorous debate right now over this Iran war.

And this allows for America to pivot and to be resilient and to discover its weaknesses and to improve on its vulnerabilities.

China has been China for the past 5,000 years.

This is not a good thing.

There are Chinese equivalents, but yes, these Western social media platforms are banned in China.

Well, no.

I mean, the reason is that China has developed an AI surveillance state that is the most advanced in the world, right?

So China has digital ID and digital currency.

Right.

And so with that, everything you do online can be monitored, right?

And so when you use your mobile phone, it's like all your app is on your phone.

So the government knows exactly where you go.

Yeah.
