joining me now the man himself Oly Ventures Chairman Kevin Olirri you know Kevin you reminded me with that comment smash heads into the wall you reminded me of what Xi Jinping said okay when he was celebrating the 100red-year anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party he said "Anybody who gets in the way of China’s reunification with Taiwan is going to get their head smashed to dust." Remember he said that is that where you got that it was ringing in my mind Maria that the rhetoric uh was just being raised and I thought it would be a good comeback but you know at this point uh we got to face reality here china uh is not just a trade war we have to figure out a way to to finally fix the problems that have existed for since 2000 when they joined WTO they’ve never abided by the rules and regulations ever there’s no mechanism by which you can dispute any kind of um you know business issue including IP theft and it’s it’s a typical situation I’ll make it very simple for everybody to understand you you invest in innovation in the United States and the product takes off and as soon as it hits a run rate of 5 million annually it gets knocked off in China manufactured there reintroduced into the US market at around 30 to 40% off because they don’t have to recuperate any R&D and sometimes the original innovating company goes bankrupt i’ve kind of had enough of that now we’ve been I’ve been watching it i’ve never been able to litigate there and I can’t even get access uh to their financial markets or even sell products there sometimes without having a partner that’s 51% i want you to be aware of something Maria that I think people missed yesterday atkins was approved his nomination went through for head of the SEC then Senator Scott issued a letter made it public yesterday that he had asked this person to enforce the law about delisting Chinese companies that were not compliant with GAP they were given three years then the law was modified to give them two years none of them were compliant there’s billions of dollars trading this morning that I think Chinese companies that are not compliant they’re going to get delisted i think this new sheriff at the SEC isn’t going to mess around and I think this is important to continue the pressure on China to come to the table yeah it’s a great point uh because I asked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent this very question yesterday i mean look Kevin we talk about this all the time we’ve got all these companies Chinese companies trading on US exchanges some of them have already been sanctioned some of them have already been put on certain lists you know blacklists or whatever in the US and they’re still trading on US exchanges and you know enabling or allowing US investors to buy these stocks and in effect um fund the expansion of our number one adversary so I’m wondering how far they’re going to go do we have that Scott Besson soundbite because I I went and I asked the Treasury Secretary about that and you know to see how h how tough they could be because that’s an economic lever that they’ve been afraid people have been afraid to pull i don’t know about this administration but most administrations are afraid to pull that lever china will be very upset here’s my conversation yesterday with Scott Bessent i’m sorry on Wednesday when I asked him this very question watch this kevin how would you assess the Chinese economy right now they were in a recession/depression due to a real estate collapse that had a real estate bubble that is deflating that had been going on for years and the economy was in terrible shape so again uh they’re going to go from bad to terrible and you know that which is unsustainable will be unsustainable the other thing that the Chinese should not do is try to devalue their way out of this because you know back to our European friends our Japanese allies our Korean allies the Vietnamese if China starts devaluing then that is a tax on the rest of the world and everyone will have to keep raising their tariffs to offset the devaluation so uh I would urge them not to do that and to come to the table how far are you willing to take this in terms of this soft war with China we’ve got Chinese stocks trading on US exchanges uh you know US investors are buying those stocks and that’s helping China fund its military let’s face it are you willing to go that far to remove Chinese stocks from US exchanges uh well Maria I think everything’s on the table we are putting in process export controls for high high value uh security related goods uh we are talking about the capital export capital controls in terms of you know as you said the a a blacklist of things uh that US uh whether pension funds endowments investors should not be investing in to fund the Chinese military machine so but that’ll be President Trump’s decision so what do you think about that Kevin i’m so glad you brought up the confirmation of Paul Atkins that is a key point i agree with you well here’s here’s my challenge to administration um I’m an investor i take companies public on NASDAQ and New York Stock Exchange i pay millions of dollars each year in compliance i have no choice but to be compliant and transparent and abide by GAAP and right beside me issuing shares without any guidance at all uh are Chinese companies i’m competing for that dollar i’m I’m investing in our markets and being compliant and my Chinese competitor same bank I’m using is going to institutions the same day on a road show and raising money for what’s called a shadow share it’s not even a real share they don’t even have any rights and they’re taking my dollar they’re taking my dollar so I’m putting up my hand saying "Wait a minute just follow the law delist these companies make them be compliant like I am and I speak on behalf of every American investor enough is enough and I don’t know why this is going on i’m only asking the new chair uphold the law just uphold the law that’s it so I think I know why it’s going on i know why it’s going on it’s going on because Wall Street firms make money on it okay that’s why it’s going on because they want to make money selling these stocks to the public and they want to make money raising money for Chinese companies what else how else is it going on that’s how it’s going on Wall Street i listen I appreciate that Marie and I use those banks and many of those people I called friends but they can’t do this anymore because they’re going to have to also abide by the law all of this softness I don’t know why Gendler didn’t pursue this my estimation as of this morning somewhere between 500 to 700 billion dollars worth of market capitalization that should be delisted taken off the exchanges at further pressure on the Chinese to come to the table yeah so Chinese Communist Party leadership wants to get tough with President Trump i wouldn’t recommend it okay there’s a lot to lose here for the Chinese uh leadership a lot to lose meanwhile let’s talk about Tik Tok the deal for Tik Tok to divest US operations to an American company currently on hold china pausing the process in response to the US tariffs president Trump told reporters yesterday the deal is still on the table though watch where does the Tik Tok deal stand um given what we’ve seen you know the tariffs alone but obviously I would say right now China is not exactly thrilled about signing it we have a deal with some very good people some very rich companies that would do a great job with it but uh we’re going to have to wait to see what uh what’s going to happen with China so the president still own No it’s on the table very much i think China’s going to want to do it actually so Kevin the CCP is going to use whatever it can to push back on tariffs well there’s further definition on the tick tock deal for some of us that were in the syndicates that were looking at buying and renting or leasing the algorithm and keeping Tik Tok the way it is past the 75 days those hopes have been dashed that was done um yesterday when uh Senator Cotton along with Scott said look and he went public i I was attending a working lunch of senators two days ago in Washington same day of the hearings on China and um what the question came up it was just an informal session and and Senator Cotton got up and said "No um I’m not going to allow any American company to do business with the Communist Party of China and they are not getting anywhere near that algorithm into an American platform." So the idea that you can buy Tik Tok now and somehow have some arrangement around the algorithm that’s that’s dead and that’s just not going to happen because you’re going to get such push back from the lawmakers and also the Supreme Court the 90 order so that path has been shut off and now we’re going to have to figure out how do we buy this thing and we’ll probably have to rewrite the entire algorithm which by the way is not that hard anymore but that you know Senator Cotton he he went public with that three hours later it’s out there now he said the same thing publicly uh it’s he’s not a fan of uh the Chinese algorithm he he call he he considers it weaponsgrade spyw wear and he’s made it known that that’s not a path investors can take he he knows China better than most so he knows exactly what their tactics are kevin it’s great to see you and by the way if if you want to know more about all those Chinese stocks trading on US exchanges I did a whole deep dive in it in our special on Fox Nation Underwriting the Enemy it is streaming now check it out underwriting the Enemy season two is up at Fox Nation streaming now stay with us Kevin good to see you thank you sir Experience Free Speech
