Big Ideas with Ben Weingarten - Hedge-Fund Manager Kyle Bass on Winning the Economic and Ideological Battle with Communist China

Hedge-Fund Manager Kyle Bass on Winning the Economic and Ideological Battle with Communist China

Big Ideas with Ben Weingarten

Kyle Bass (@Jkylebass) is the Chief Investment Officer of Hayman Capital Management, and arguably the most outspoken China hawk on Wall Street.

I had Bass on the podcast to discuss his views on the U.S.-China economic competition, what a U.S. grand strategy with respect to China might look like, and much more.

What We Discussed
  • Why Bass believes China is a paper tiger
  • China's ignored Achilles' heel
  • The Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) effort to set up a competing global reserve currency
  • How the CCP has ensured a predominant pro-Beijing narrative in the U.S., through developing relationships with our political class, titans of financial services and other powerful sectors of the economy, and Hollywood--to our great detriment
  • How America can use capital market reforms to end the CCP's unfair trade practices
  • What Bass would do if he was advising the Trump administration on trade vis-à-vis China
  • Whether America can decouple from China, and what the consequences would be
  • The economic viability of China's Belt and Road Initiative
  • The stakes of the competition with Huawei in 5G telecommunications technology
  • Making China pay for its culpability in the coronavirus crisis
  • China's biggest Achilles heel
  • Bass's three major recommendations for a U.S. grand strategy with respect to China
