Fast fashion brands that they built kind of gamifying e-commerce, just knocking the socks off of Western competition. So you're going to see this over and, you know, extends into photovoltaics and solar panels and of course into all kinds of hardware. So today, if you're in an emerging market, more likely than not, you have a Chinese phone in your hand. Apple is way too expensive for anyone.
So those are the metrics I'm worried about. All right, guys, we got Ben here today. We are at AmFest. Is this your first one? It is. Let's go. What do you think so far? Amazing. Amazing. I'm messing good people. Yeah. You had a breakfast this morning with Charlie, right?
Yeah. How'd that go? Really impressive seeing the results of all the work that they've done over the last year and how much of this vote they turned and how much really I think this election can be credited to their work.
Dude, I think he might have been Trump's MVP this election. For sure. I mean, he was going to college campuses every single day. For sure. And the clips were getting tens of millions of views. Yeah. Is that how you found out about him, through the clips?
No, no. I've known Charlie since 2016. Wow. I met Charlie then, and he invited me to his credit. So one of his events, I think it was an AmFest or something, in Washington with President Trump. And I couldn't fit it in my schedule, and I regret it. But I've kept in touch. Nice. And so they invited me out here this time around. But then they've been trying to get me to come things for a while.
I love it. So you've been going to China back and forth for the past nine years. What's been going on with your trips lately? Yeah.
I mean, I took the view a long time ago that our biggest geopolitical, military, economic competitor was going to be China for all of our lifetime and probably that of our children. And I'm a little older than you, but I was in high school when 9-11 happened. And immediately after it happened, a few people had different reactions. Some raced to join the military and enlist.
A lot started studying Arabic and going to work and study in the Middle East and try to kind of understand Islam and what that dynamic was, because we were fixated on this global war on terror. I see China as the same thing.
So I really thought it was kind of my duty to go and understand China because our bench of people that actually understand China and are in a position to make a difference from a policy perspective is very, very thin. Yeah. And there's a lot of misinformation on China too, right?
