As my colleague Bonchie , Tucker Carlson’s segment on a Beijing academic bragging that China has used Wall Street to exert influence over the upper echelons of American government for many, many years was explosive. As Bonchie writes:The professor goes on to talk specifically about President Trump and how he’s blown up China’s ability to control American interests and bend them in their favor.
