These people are not allowed to write novels.

They're not allowed to make movies beyond like a rom-com industry.

They're not allowed to make TV.

So you're talking about the oppression of an entire pool of talent.

Absolutely, it does.

And there is no creativity right now.

If you found, say, Alibaba, you're the founder of Alibaba, you can disappear for a year while they remind you who's the boss and who's right.

And then you come out and basically move to Tokyo because Tokyo is a huge new place for Chinese exiles.

Yeah, it's a booming place.

It was a great pleasure to talk to you, Anthony.

Good luck.
