Kevin O'Leary says the US needs to go 'DEFCON 19 against China' and break the country with heavy tariffs
Briefly

O'Leary emphasized the need for heavy tariffs on China, arguing that the country only responds to pressure: "You squeeze them because the Chinese only understand the stick. I've said it countless times, they understand the stick, they respect the stick, give them the stick." This highlights his perspective that economic pain will lead to fairer trade relations.
O'Leary made strong remarks about the necessity of extreme measures: "I want to bring them to their knees with a blowtorch to deal with us fairly, and that's why you use tariffs." His comments suggest a drastic approach to U.S.-China relations and trade negotiations.
O'Leary also shared his personal investment struggles with China, stating, "I have had a bad experience investing in China. I have no access to their courts. I can't understand why they get to list their companies without the same cost and compliance that I have to pay." This reflects his dissatisfaction and perceived lack of equity in international trade.
