Overview

She dismisses the official tourism reason and posits it's a strategic move to counter fragmenting Western supply chains by attracting 'people flow before capital flow.'

    the real story behind China dropping visas

Transcript

Everyone's asking me why China suddenly got very friendly with Canada. China doesn't just drop visas for tourism. Okay? Obviously, that's just a cover story. Canada sits in a very interesting position right now. Politically, it's very close to America, but economic it can it's very flexible. And China knows Better supply chains are fragmenting. So instead of fighting the tariffs head on, it's rerouting its influence. It's bringing people flow before capital flow. Bro, dropping Visa is so great. I'm in Shanghai. Like, everyone's white tier, and they're all founders, executives, engineers, freaking even crypto people, tech people. They're all here from Russia, Europe, Canada, everyone. Guess what?

For what? They're like, oh, yeah. For business. It's going to happen, like, literally for the next ten years. Come to China.
