You just cannot rely on our relationship with China right now remaining stable in the coming years.
And you don't want them to be able to choke you out, Hormuz style, with pharmaceuticals or rare earth metals, magnets, etc.
So we've got to make sure that we are preparing for an escalating problem with China.
Because if we leave ourselves in a situation where they can cut us off from things that we are absolutely reliant upon regularly,
we are going to be in a way worse position than we are with the things that Iran can cause disruption on, obviously barring a nuclear weapon, which would be even worse than pharmaceuticals.
Well, he's saying it's only going to be cheaper because I'm going to raise prices on you first.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.

I'm less and less comfortable calling China currently a communist nation.
I know they call themselves that, but it's more just a dictatorship.

And so I'm going to force you guys all to get good at manufacturing.
And that's going to be our thing.
And if I've got to put up nets around Foxconn because so many of you are committing suicide, whatever.
