EXCERPT:
RAMASWAMY: “Basically, we thought we could use our money to get them to be more like us, that we could export Big Macs and Happy Meals and somehow that was going to spread democracy to places like China. What China realized was that actually they could turn that game on its head. We thought we could use our money to get them to be more like us. What they realized is that they could use access to their market, their money, to get us to be more like them — or even one step better: use our money to get us to be more like them. And it has worked because the number one reason companies asymmetrically criticize the alleged social injustices here in the United States while effectively justifying the actual human rights atrocities committed in China is that China builds a Great Chinese Wall that prevents you from entering the Chinese market if you dare to criticize the CCP, but they will roll out the red carpet if you criticize the United States."
