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
