And I think these people, these human rights lawyers, I actually despise them, Tucker.
I think they're the enemy of Britain.
And I don't understand what motivates them.
the west well in the end history will tell you that we always return to rail politic and rail politic is basically uh power power ultimately dictates what happens of course and as you say that's happening china is very cleverly positioning herself you know in countries which are struggling for money obviously in africa i mean her tentacles are going almost everywhere and you know i i think i think china
in a way, is an extraordinary economy because you've got this extraordinary relationship between communism and their capitalism, which Deng tried to introduce, which has generated a sort of class of people who, and the Chinese are enterprising people, who have generated wealth.
But then, you know, you've also got this communist bloc.
And I visited, when I was chairman of Southampton, I visited Qingdao, where Southampton is twinned with Qingdao.
And it's an extraordinary sort of relationship.
So very much the capitalist is effectively in hock to the communists.
So they control everything.
And if you look what happened to Jack Ma, I mean, he built an incredibly successful business in Alibaba.
So I think that their blend of
communism and capitalism, which if you dig deep, all their state enterprises are incredibly indebted and almost bankrupt.
So I don't think her model is sustainable.
Meanwhile, she's generated huge amounts of foreign exchange from effectively, if you like, she's undercut a lot of the Western capitalists in solar panels and in other things.
And she's running huge trade surpluses, even if internally her finances aren't great.
So I don't think her model...
is a sound model uh i i i think she is actually quite a dangerous influence she she i think bears a very long memory uh she never forgets uh what's been done to her in the past and and and i read an interesting book the other day uh by colin thubron called the ammo river i don't know if you've read about the animal runs through mongolia
and it's the history of the relationship between Russia and China.
It's a very good book to read, but she never forgets when people breached treaties.
