Hear it yourself
"You know, I I will see your Chad Bowne, of whom I am a huge fan, and we're gonna have him on when his book drops here in in, I guess, a couple of weeks, months, whatever it is. But but I will see you, Chad, and raise you foreign direct investment. The president talks about wanting to have Chinese factories on American soil, but foreign direct investment from China into The United States is way down as well. So there is there are some hurdles here, right, to this to this reopening and and reconnecting. Absolutely. And I think, Kai, that the president is right to be emphasizing for direct investment. It was foolishness to say they didn't want that."
