JOJan 2021: Jack Ma missing and not seen for 2 months. One of the wildest predictions in RV history may be coming true.
-
JGIt was interesting and somewhat concerning that "Miles" started the interview with a lie, pretending he was just meeting Kyle, but maybe that is a cultural misstep only? Glad Kyle was honest throughout.

SvHe is right about the simple mindedness of America. These countries are run by the Mafia. They call them selves the Communist party, or the Revolutionary party, or what ever, but they are essentially the modern mafia. Can you imagine living in country run by a mafia? The best hope is that the mafia members start infighting over the declining pie. time will tell. Thank you RV. This is worth the price of admission.

CSI cannot rate this video because I have no idea what I should think about this. Weirdly fascinating.
-
DAWell, i guess Jack got offered 3 options: Jail Die Join the CCP
-
rdfolks, if your bullshit detector isn't ringing off the charts from this interview and Guo in particular, I seriously question your judgment.
-
ALKyle, you are knocking them out of the park!! You are a great interviewer!!
-
MRBy the way, Jack Ma “resigned” today.
-
MRPlease hire a better transcription company. The content is good but the incorrect captions are distracting.

MPI believe him. Anyone that thinks different is naive

CHThe only thing George Orwell got wrong was the continent.
-
GOIf you change the word China for United States, it is eerily similar. Not as extreme but we are more than on our way to be all suppressed.
-
KSBrilliant interview. It might be good to have something like this in the World on the Brink show. Maybe get Snowdon or Assange to interview. Or George Galloway.

DCI posted the following link regarding the Uyghur issue shortly after this interview. The previous posting has been deleted for some reason - a reason that is not clear to me. Interested to see the fate of this attempt https://journal-neo.org/2018/10/05/china-s-uyghur-problem-the-unmentioned-part/

BAIt’s a pity this interview was not held in Chinese with English translation . I think that 90% of info was lost because of poor english. We could have made so much more. Still this 10% was amazing, especially about the strange death in Provence and the disappearance of the France based Interpol chief. Comments about RMB printing and non convertibility strengthened my belief that the Chinese created a monetary anchor in RMB by manipulating gold price. By maintaining an artificially low price of gold, and encouraging the ownership of gold by their population, the Chinese can hide the loss of purchasing power of the RMB due to money printing . I think the US is passive on this so far, because the Chinese got themselves into a trap. Whenever the US decides to push the price of gold higher they can create an hyperinflation in China and defeat their opponent..

DRApart from pushing your bearish view on China, how does this help investors?

AGA controversial interview. My interpretation of the agendas of each: I suspect Mr Kwok does have some insight into how things work in China and he is not particularly happy for whatever reason and sought refuge in the US and wishes to maintain his status in the US to avoid his enemies in China. Mr Bass is attempting to look behind the Chinese curtain to support his ‘short the RMB’ trade. The unsubstantiated claims by Mr Kwok are just that. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle but it doesn’t really matter because it is their system. The US also has some serious issues. At one point in the interview Mr Bass stated ‘I think you are right because you agree with me…’ I don’t know if Mr Bass was saying this in jest but I question the value of Mr Kwok’s input regarding the short RMB trade. I don’t disagree with Mr Bass’s thesis but question usefulness of this piece because of the emotional content. However, the YEN short trade seemed like a slam dunk but I guess its about timing. My observation is that the US primacy (unipolar world) is dwindling. It is losing ground on Brzezinki’s Grand Chessboard. You have ‘Art of the Deal’ vs ‘Tzun Tzu’. You have short term objectives (quarterly reports, US election cycles) vs long term planning. Both have debt issues… the Chinese invented paper money. I re-watched the Malmgren interview which I find to be much more useful. As mentioned, I don’t disagree with Mr Bass’s thesis but my play for now is long $US. Thanks RV

JAFantastic. The Bannon interview stole the headlines but this was the show stopper in content. Refreshing and somewhat rude awakening opinions and talking points that KB introduces are exactly what viewers need to educate themselves. Having opinions matters.
-
bmKyle, where can we download some of your reports? i checked on your site but couldn't find any.
-
WCChris mentioned "Weirdly fascinating". have to agree, Guo Wengui (Miles Kwok) makes me smile with his antics, such a smooth promoter. It's curious though how Kyle has bought fully into his "story". Being closer to the action (living in HK), i would say Mile's hands are likely as dirty as the typical billionaire (you don't get to be a billionaire in china back in the day with just "hard work", he's likely greased his fair share of supporters), the crackdown on corruption in recent years even catching past high level past govt officials has him worried, if the chinese govt really wanted him back they would lean on his immediate and extended family in China (and he would be heartless to let them suffer on his behalf). More importantly, Kyle can just talk to people in China freely on the streets, whether in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, etc this is not North Korea where there is no free speech.... though that would be the impression you get from Miles... just check out the Wechat (China's Twitter) forums. What's funny is Mile's description is probably how it was like 15-20 years ago... a china that doesn't exist today.

VCI move against the crowd here (in this instance, RV’s comments section): If you do some digging this guy has a very poor and well known, corrupt reputation in China/East Asia region. He left because of China’s increasing enforcement of anti corruption as Xi Jinping stepped into the government role. Respectfully, Kyle is openly falling prey to his own politically charged anti-China/CCP biases. The key thing I’ve learned from Kyle’s recent video series is that all investors/traders - despite the size of their AUM - fall prey to their hubris and human biases. Like Kyle’s misrepresented comment with respect to a Chinese minority of Ugyhers in the last video of “1 million Chinese in internment camps”. China does a lot more to respect harmony between religions than many countries and you will see this if you actually visit or better yet, live in China. Do some real digging from Asian sources and you may learn acts of terrorism in China has been concentrated by this Chinese minority group, in a specific region of China. I am neither “pro” or “anti” CCP. Nor am I pro or anti democracy. The pro/anti dichotomy is a very westernised concept itself. I just care for what works. There is a lot of politically charged conjecture in Kyle’s recent video series and this needs to be taken into context whilst watching them.
-
GLGreat interview and very bold of RV to host this interview. The death of the HNA chairman was highly suspicious - I remember thinking this before listening to any 'conspiracy theories'. The series of events that China was imposing on the company to delever in the lead up to his death was very telling. His death is not a coincidence. Very fishy.
-
KTWas flying to New York when I viewed this video. Couldn't help myself but take a walk past the Bank of China building to go and see if "all the windows is blocked". Looked all normal to me, no shutters or closed blinds(and this was a clear morning strong early day sun right onto the building). Either all you say is true or everything else is called into question.
-
SDWho is this guy, and why did he agree to an on camera interview? What was the point? To call Fan Bingbing a money laundering whore and publicize his political allegiances - in advance of what? Seems to me Xi's situation is more perilous than people realise if people like this guy are now publicly agitatingin favour of the old Hu Jintao gang. The yuan's dropping like a stone no matter what this guy says. Bottom line: his suit was too expensive.
-
EMWhat's with all the negative comments? They sound like CCP employees
-
MBPutting this interview out lets us make up our own minds Kwok may be over exaggerating some information but it gets our attention Now we are responsible to find out for ourselves The parallels between China's Social Credit system and what Social media is implementing are interesting to say the least Forcing churches to replace the cross with a photo of emperor Li, says a lot about who these leaders are
-
CHI want to register a very strange occurrence twice. I watched this video twice on my iPhone and each time I received a call from Washington DC. Each time a voice mail was left which was in Chinese. I have no idea what the message was. The phone number is 202-609-2917. This is an eerie coincidence because I have never received this sort of spam before.
-
DYGreat interview and it's good to see RV have the balls to show this. Nothing about the CCP really surprises me. When you look at the 20th century and the crime against humanity that these extreme left wing ideologies (communism) have done to innocent people then nothing that the CCP does surprises me. The entire history of the CCP is all about suppressing and controlling people. After traveling to a lot of these ex communist countries, like Russia, Eastern Europe, China, Cambodia and Vietnam, I've seen first hand the effects of what these evil left wing dictators have done to the people, under the name of socialism. Even today the people are still scared to talk about their government. It's very rare to see someone speak against these dictator governments as it normally ends in one way. Whether you believe Miles or not he has very big balls to say this kind of stuff. This is really only the tip of the iceberg with what really goes on in China. One question to ask yourself. Why do the rich, educated, elite Chinese go to all sorts of length to get their money out of China? If China is such a great investment then why don't they leave their money in China? Why are these western companies all trying to invest their money into China and calling foul play once they've been ripped off. Do you think the elite Chinese who grew up in China know something that the western's don't? As Miles said, westerners are naive and too trusting and if they are shocked by what has been said in this interview then maybe take your next holiday to some of these ex communist countries and talk to the people and read up on the history, Cambodia is a good place to start and spend some time walking around the killing fields. These Kyle Bass interview are great and please keep them coming.

CLI have 3 university degrees, speak 5 languages, spent the largest proportion of my life problem-solving, and yet it I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY only 2 other people here seem to think that this interview (and, yes, I have read the transcript as well) is incomprehensible gobbledegook. Translators do have a purpose on this planet......
-
RTReminds me of the Bill Browder interview which turned out to be misleading and personal/political cold war rhetoric. Doubt creeps in for me anytime someone is demonizing another and Miles Kwok was demonizing China. I really like Kyle. But..... we know that Kyle acts as an advisor to the White House in regard to China and we know that Kyle has a thesis in regard to the RMB. We know that the Whitehouse has long been engaged in strategy and behind closed door war games against China and a long time strategy to continue USD hegemony that affects many countries and curriencies negatively. I think what is closer to the truth is that countries such as China and Russia are not looking to ruin the US and the USD but rather would like to be part of a multi-polar world and a global economy that includes them. On the other hand the US is engaged in demonizing countries such as Russia and China to continue it's USD hegemony.

LWGuo is fucking joker, and most of his words is not the fact.

JVIt’s about time for the world to wake up and see the CCP for what it really is. We all enjoy our cheap stuff from China and it has blinded us. The CCP is no better than Putin’s regime or the Soviet regimes before him. They use the same playbook and they have had the time of their lives growing their economy and power unchecked. I see the CCP as the evil power that won. They’ve been in control for almost 70 years now, so we take it for granted. But this is a dangerous organization with values directly opposed to the west. If we wish to keep our values and way of life in the west, we need to fight parties like the CCP. Not trade with them and look the other way as they rob us blind and run their country like George Orwell’s 1984 dystopia. No wonder the book is banned in China. Watch Niall Ferguson’s series on modern Chinese history (Triumph and Turmoil) if you don’t already know who these people are and what they come from (the CCP leadership). It’s also instructive to watch the Icarus documentary about Russian olympic cheating to gain insight on the thought process and methods of this type of regime. They have benefited tremendously from Western naivety. It has to stop.
-
KSWow - let's make it simple -- what Kwok says makes sense when you look at world from right vantge point. How did China Rise from the ashes in early 1970's??? Hmm? Kissinger (Globalist David Rockefeller protege) - totally obvious bad US trade deals that NO doubt hurt US worker and corporations??? What country makes such bad deals- unless you make them because they are an offer you cant refuse. Where is the gold? Look at gold flow west to east -- this was all a globalist set up for the big reset we all know is coming and US has refused to do audit of gold reserves in Fort Knox since 1950's. Next, China is printing money at such an extent it is unfathomable and China has a totally FAKE internal banking system (which Kyle knows is a fact) and what are they doing with this fake system - Oh yeah, LOL One belt One road =Bullshit. Look at Sri Lanka ports, it is the IMF all over again, Debt from nothing and I own you. Bigger picture Rockefeller Bankers Globalist Agenda is the question, these jokers have been in China and supported Mao pre- revolution and post revolution -- Kissinger is a criminal and Trump is actually supporting USA and national sovereignty - like Kyle says. I hope the world wakes up before this all turns on them. I agree with Kwok, China is more evil than most can even imagine. Remember CCP is Mao's party and they murdered 45 million of their own country men. Dont even get me started on David Rockefeller quotes - and there are many about globalist agenda (Rockefeller can't shut his own mouth, has complete contempt for ordinary people and their rights). Raoul you started what was suppose to be a financial channel and what has happened is you have gone down the rabbit hole by asking questions -- thank you for taking us all with you. I tell my students this all the time -- Question Everything and Trust NOBODY. I play golf with an ex - NY FED Banker and she tells me that I have the most cynical mind of anyone she has ever met. But like she also says Nobody she knows asks any questions like I do. And then we both laugh and hit the ball. (Mind you she has given me stock tips on surveillance and AI corporations and I have told her about bitcoin -which of course she sold at the top at 20K - its like you can't make this shit up.

pwThat should have read China has occupied "12000 square miles of Indian territory illegally and it slowly creeping into India". Which country does territorial expansion in this day and age? Well China is!! That is the truth!
-
pwFew people in the West know that China has occupied 12000 square miles of Indian territory and they are creeping in further into India. They do not respect treaties made between their neighboring countries and make up their own maps to claim territories. So this is not surprising to me at all. Many countries including Vietnam are saying that China considers "south china sea" and East china sea as its own territory because it has the name China next to the sea. The question is how do you implement treaties and international laws when it comes to China? Nobody has ever challenged them and they have become emboldened as years went by. How many people in this forum know that they took possession of a port in Sri Lanka under One Belt one road initiative because Sri Lanka could not pay its debt to them. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/china-took-over-a-port-in-sri-lanka-so-what
-
bfThis is how i thought western democraties were operating so no surprise :). more seriously this is all plausible although the scale of the corruption described seems too large to have been sustained for so long. it is good that our governments are waking up to these hard facts but they have been complicite for so long by creating a labour/capital arbitrage through corporate globalization that China alone cannot be blamed. Deglobalization is underway and it will be inflationary.

-
CBSociopaths the world over should eat a hand full of mushrooms so they can at least have a chance to be connected to the world that they live on. Change your perspective and forget your old contexts so that you can embrace peace and love and leave your addictions to amphetamines and power behind. RealVision is so cool because it is telling us a story about the current fixations of the human species. If we destroy our planet, ecology and one another will we feel remorse? Money is perhaps the most important communication tool in existence today and large players ability to distort the information that money conveys is preventing us from washing away the unproductive allocations of resources. Perhaps new money will repair this issue. The imposition of honesty is the value of gold, crypto and markets! Ooga chaca!
-
SGGreat interview. Confirms my suspicions with detail.
-
CALots of insight. Really shocking stuff.
-
CHMiles' English was difficult to understand in some places. I think it would have been a good idea to have used the translator more either in the interview or in post.
-
CZthe guy clearly has a lot of knowledge but I can't help but think that letting him speak Chinese would have made for a better interview (despite Kyle's great effort).
-
JMI wish we had the opportunity to tweet a copy of this interview. Hope Raul will consider this.
-
DKWould he be the Missionary (game theory)? Jack Ma have a cult following, I hope he will be left alone as long his teaching doesn’t interfere with the party line. Although he’ll be always dangerous... wish him many years
-
SAThis interview is full of unsubstantiated claims. No country can build an economy as large as China without rule of law and an enduring economic philosophy. It appears Raoul/Realvision is providing a political platform to a rabid anti-China elements like this runaway billionaire. Please stick to economics and business perspectives.
-
BLFascinating. It confirms suspicions probably most of us had all along. I couldnt help but picture the corollary to that conversation. Somewhere in China, in an airplane hangar, a Chinese Kyle Bass, interviewing some US insider and getting the inside spiel on the US "Mafia families" and financial dirty tricks. Now obviously we are more transparent and such...but...there certainly is some overlap. Human nature is the same worldwide.
-
jmI respect Bass and enjoyed Kwok. The message to me is that Americans have been and are truly naive as to China's intentions vis a vis the U.S. My view has been and is, is that China is ruthless and has a desire to return to being the principal global power. The U.S. has evidenced an inability to plan and execute. I do not view Kwok as sensationalist, though I can see how some view him to be just that. My sense is that he has been prescient about Ma and others, that he is friendly with some senior Private/Public Senior individuals who were targeted and will be targeted, and that he is acting selflessly in attempting to educate us on the threats we face from China. I value the Real Vision forum and hope that the forum continues to provide perspectives that cut across investments, and geopolitics. Global macro investing relies in part, on an understanding of that which is political and cultural. Good job and good perspective RV.
-
DSThe US/China trade dispute started off to end the deficit for the US balance of payments. Has it morphed into negotiating on all levels - trade, technology transfer and industrial subsidy policies? This would be a much different negotiation. Anyone with valid sources or their opinions? DLS
-
SCAs an Asian American, I have been painfully ignorant of the inner workings of China and the CCP. Mr. Kwok is clearly an educated man but I do wish his English was better as that would make his message more meaningful. It is a terrible signal for China and the rest of the world if what he is saying about Jack Ma and Alibaba is true. I am sure I was not the only one who was a bit surprised at Jack Ma's announcement
-
RKThe only question is how the world/ US let the communism continue in China for so long. Why we have started trading full blown with these despicable commies who have no respect for the human life let along the international rule based order. Why we have let them invited into the WTO and now they have SDRs as well. No body challenged this until Trump comes along.
-
evIf you take away only one thing from all this. China is not our friend.
-
MLhe might have just saved Jack Ma's life with that prediction - as China stays away from Ma just to discredit this guy
-
SCLet me elaborate Mr. Kwok’s “Blue Gold Yellow Plan” , a tool to leverage against you. Blue, hacking your personal information, gold: money to coerce you, Yellow, sex. Let me explain from my China experiences. Many of the hotels in China had 1 or 2 hotel rooms accessible by Police or local government. These rooms have full surveillance equipments. If you are over 50 with 3 tiny hair on top, big belly, a 20 yrs old girl showing interest and would like to follow back to your hotel room. Don’t think you are attractive , you are just targeted. Many Universtiy professors fell for that.
-
FLMr. Guo has a worthwhile message and his comments about the economy and the banking system have a lot of merits, but he lost me long before this interview was aired. If you think this is outlandish, you should tune in to his youtube monologues (in Chinese though). He is undermining his own messages with his exaggeration and too-out-there predictions and comments. His predictions about millions of people on the street of Beijing did not turn into reality. Sometimes I feel the naïve ones also include him. What he missed about China is the lack of internal desire for revolutionary change. I don’t know if the economy will worsen enough to tip the scale, but it certainly was not there before. Regarding his comments about China’ grand strategy, is that even a secret? Of course China wants to see a weakened US, wants to challenge dollar’s status, just as US wants a weakened China, a potential challenger to her supremacy, and wants to defend dollar’s rule. What I’m most curious is about his prediction of the party’s downfall in two years. Well, that is serious, every single person here will feel the impact one way or another.
-
ALIn light of this conversation a bit of recent local news seems much more sinister. https://www.foxnews.com/tech/chinese-billionaire-arrested-in-minneapolis-for-alleged-sexual-misconduct
-
ALI have always wondered what was the motivation for Nixon going to open China in the first place? Of course you will hear the argument of globalization leading to a softening of the communist regime thorough economic inter-dependence. I don't buy that. I am very curious because It seems that the the economic dog, when it really matters, gets wagged by the geo-political/military/security tail. But I have nothing to back that up.
-
NGNewsfash: if you start a small business in China or Russia you can grow it into a multi billion operation within 5 years without any political help whatsoever. The system is open and transparent and anyone can make it through sheer hard work. Kissing political ass absolutely not a requirement. Thanks for bringing on a crook to tell me the system is crooked. You can always believe a crook when he turns on his own.

DSHoly...................
-
JCthings that make you go hmmm...
-
myI think it could have been made a bit more clear that Guo Wengui is a thug and Party underworld figure who ran funded the security apparatus, under their protection, working hand in glove with them, and was almost certainly an MSS asset himself. The game he played was that he'd work with security officials to take out business opponents, clean up making billions, and use that money as a secret slush fund to pay for security work. Like the off-the-books banker for his security bosses. He is continuing to play political games here. Given his history of lying his head off, it's unclear that RV should have given him this platform. Interesting anyway. But it would have been a bit more appropriate to first inject some realism into this so we know who we're actually listening to. This is not just some businessman who has gone rogue and is now fighting for democracy. That claim couldn't be further from the truth.
-
GOI watched this four times and it is still hard to believe his claims. It is also funny when Miles said 20% of a billion dollars and Kyle almost fell off his chair!! Big balls Real Vision. I am impressed. Again.
-
LCNot much of what Mr. Kwok said surprised me frankly and Most if not all know of those who have lived under oppressive regimes, whether communist or dictators know this. Indeed those regimes work as described by Mr. Kwok. Having said that, I wonder why now are powerful members of the CCP undoing their profitable partnerships with their protégés such as Ma, Mr. Kwok and the Chairman of the insurance company assassinated in Provence? Have the business moguls overstepped their boundaries? Have they cheated their “partners” on their share of the loot? What has changed? That’s the million dollar question in my mind. Thank you Kyle, Mr. Kwok and RVTV!
-
JXWow, it is on RV!
-
BPHey RV does this clown have the same despicable handlers as Bill Browder? Skeptical of who this guy really works for. You like to claim how RV is on the cutting edge of this and that. Then do what you want to claim to be in its entirety. Terribly disappointed in RV that you didn’t give the total backstory to who Bill Browder really is. Shame on you RV and that’s why I’m very skeptical on this clown’s true motives and wondering who he really works for. Did you truly do your due diligence on this guy and Browder? Like who really financed these turds would be a good place to start.
-
RHI just finished putting together what I thought was a long term Chineese stock portfolio. Now I feel nauseous, uncomfortable and confused. I need to digest all of this a bit more and do more research, sooner than later....
-
RMGood interview and interesting, although difficult to follow at times. It would be helpful if RealVision could use this material for another piece that goes into greater depth with additional information about the people and events named. In the same piece, RV could clarify and or expand on the points that Guo Wengui made during the interview. Sounds like China and Russia have more similarities than I realised with regards to who controls the wealth and how they acquire it. Funny that China gets away with state sanctioned murders but Saudi Arabia doesn't.
-
FGThey need to print more money because they have a much higher propensity to save. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GNS.ICTR.ZS?locations=CN-US With growth and given that propensity, they need to print more in order to satisfy hoarding of cash without creating deflation. Please stop creating fictional conspiracy theories around M2
-
SZinteresting but a lot of sensationalism...firmly in the category of Jim Rickards and Martin Armstrong...
-
MFI will be brief: this interview boils down to one of two treatments: 1) if this is false, it was an entertaining and interesting perspective with an agenda; 2) if this is true, it is the most important video RV has ever done, bar none, by virtue of the economic, geo-strategic and market impact and outcomes that likely follow if conclusions transpire.
-
MSAmazing. Good on you Real Vision for airing this.
-
jljohn perkins please
-
PGWell, well...I had a feeling this video wasn't going to be the usual RV interview as soon as I saw the disclaimer and heard "undisclosed aircraft hangar".... I try to keep an open mind with all theories on China, so my compliments to RV for sticking their neck out to put this together. Of course, same for Mr. Bass and Mr. Kwok/Wengui
-
CDStunning
-
DSKnowing the truth about any country run with absolute power is way above my pay grade. While listening I was thinking of all the other powerful dictators acting in a similar way, regardless of hypothetical government type. We have people killed in the UK by foreign spies, we have journalist killed in Turkey, we have citizens killed in and out of North Korea, citizens poisoned in Syria, active terrorist in Europe and the US both home-grown and imported. The list goes on and on. Even worse when these dictators fall, the country is often thrown into total chaos like Yugoslavia and many parts of Africa. The only controls on these powers are a deep-seated rule of law and transparency. These controls on absolute power are also under constant attack. Nuff said. DLS
-
SRWhy is this behind a paywall. This interview should be spread far and wide !
-
PZ.
-
OSExceptional.
-
MBThe production is terrible, should’ve let him talk in Chinese with English dub, I feel so much info is not getting through due to the language barrier
-
WSIt's impossible to judge Mr. Kwok's veracity, but as I watched the interview, I found myself doubting his reliability as a source. In my opinion, this interview ranks just behind the Bill Browder interview as the most ill-advised decision in RealVision's otherwise stellar history.
-
ASFantastic. It’s only sensationalistic if you don’t know the reality of the world.
-
POI would like to hear both Anne Stevenson Yang and Christopher Balding respond to this interview. From what I recall from her interview with Grant is that the CCP is no longer interested in overthrowing the dollar as the world reserve currency.
-
MBjust out of curiosity and probably a question to Milton, has this interview attracted the most comments ever? I think I have never seen a video which led to so many arguments in favor/against. Just going through this comments section is worth the RV sub.

ODRV- I want to just point out there is a big difference between this and great expose pieces like that done the Guardian about Cambrige Analytica that had PROOF. These are wild claims that further fuel a growing dysfunctional US-China relationship. Media is a powerful thing and there needs to be some sort of proof. Everything he says may be true but what if they arent true? What is the cost???

MKThis was an absolutely fantastic interview. It’s hard to prove whether the implicit allegations made by Mr Wengui are in fact true, but from my experience, they all seem very plausible. Reading the polarizing comments below – and I urge all viewers to do so, for a broader opinionated view, I felt compelled to offer my own. Growing up in a communist country, one my family and I had to flee from, such allegations are not surprising. I urge all the Americans (and other nationalities), who were fortunate enough to be born in a democracy, and never personally experienced living under such communist regimes, to open their minds and educate themselves. Communist states: Under such conditions human principles do not change, and it’s really no different this time with China.

FMI haven’t earned the right to have an opinion on these matters but am grateful to RV for providing access to this darker side of the China narrative.

jybrilliant interview

SDThis guy resembles Ahmed Chalabi in key respects: sharp suits, friends in high places, and scandalous scuttlebut that proves impossible to disprove.

DREqual time please for the heroic American dissident Eric Snowden to diss USA. Every single comprehensive survey and poll since 2013 has shown that most people around the world regard USA as the world's biggest threat to peace and humanity (per BBC, Pew Research, Gallup, Der Spiegel, NY Post,...). Except in USA where currently most pick Iran, and in India where most pick Pakistan (clearly the EU and especially Germany strongly disagree with the Americans' view of Iran given the EU's scathing objections to US sanctions of Iran and Europe's order to all organizations operating in Europe to defy US sanctions of Iran or be legally liable in European court for consequential damages).

RCI will make something very simple for anyone who was wondering whether this is a credible videos, it doesn't matter if the video is 100% true or 0% true. The only thing to determine is the weighing the bet of either. 1. Price seems to agree, sitting right near the high of 7. 2. China NEEDS a weaker currency. 3. Fed tightening policy. Getting in front of this cocktail is only possible with small bets, tight stops, and options. The trade, long USD has a huge upside skew because of the possibility of deval, a long term break of 7 in general is a very long term breakout, and finally the underlying CB forces. Bet it either way you like, but fading long term breakouts with this much risk of vol is absolutely the antithesis of anything I would do.

JSI really appreciate this unique perspective. Thank you.

lyWho is this Mr. Kwok? How he gets this rich in China? Why he has so much inside informations? Was he one of them before? He turns on his colleagues after a fall out? Is there personal interest in his interviews? About Wang Qisan? One can cross check his judgement with that of Ray Dalio who talked about Ray's meetings with Wang in his book The Principles. Whom I believe in?
-
DRWonderful interview! Well worth the mild difficulty Mr. Wengui has communicating some points. For those with patience, a wealth of insight is tucked in his answers.

CWAs a Journalist, I commend you Real Vision!
-
SDThe guys knows Jack Ma is walking dead because he'll be the one pulling the trigger. No platform. Shame, RV.
-
TMRealVision and Kyle Bass are game changers. I want to hear more from Kyle about where I should be looking to learn truth about China.
-
PBThis was superb Kyle! I truly hope you keep on interviewing interesting people in the financial world for RealVision. Thanks a lot!

CMAs an investor, my biggest takeaway is that he is talking to Bannon, which means it is going to Trump. And while the claims in the interview can not be substaniated and many appear to be exaggerated, Trump drives his foreign policy off this type of information. Thus, his economic war with China may be greater than any of us imagined leading to higher tariffs on January 1st and creating unwanted disruption in the global supply chain. This will impact markets negatively going forward.
-
GOVery, very interesting. Definitely a first for Real Vision. If I was Kyle, I would not hang out with "Miles Kwok" Very Very dangerous China kill you!! Everyone will have eyes on Jack Ma from now on!
-
JLwhat's the line on this gentleman disappearing in 1y time
-
HFKyle has now either willingly or inadvertently put himself in harms way. I don't understand how does being on the CCP hit-list does him any favors as he would have been making money hand over fist from the China slowdown.
-
MD@Kyle Bass: this interview makes it very clear to which lengths you go when working on a thesis and doing your own primary research - very impressive, hats off! Is there a more up to date presentation - besides the Hayman Letter of Feb 2016 - of your view what is going on in china you like to share? Many thanks for this interview! Best, M

MCThank you Realvision and Kyle for arranging this candid, open and hard-to-get interview about what’s inside the CCP. In appreciation, you have me as a life-long subscriber. Keep up the fantastic work! Thank you also to Mr Kwok for risking your life to enlighten us. There is much more work to do.
