Well done, China. 🇨🇳👍🏻
“Billionaire Charlie Munger is a big fan of how communist China manages its economy.
The Berkshire Hathaway vice chairman told CNN he’s impressed that Beijing recognizes the troubles caused by allowing economic booms to get out of control.
China “steps on a boom in the middle of it instead of waiting for the big bust,” Munger said in an interview. “Of course, I admire that. In that one respect, they are wiser than we are.”
The 97-year-old longtime friend and business partner of Warren Buffett noted the contrasting ideologies of the world’s two largest economies.
” It amuses me that communist China is being smarter about handling booms than capitalist America ,” Munger said. “But I know a lot of people that are smarter than I am. Should we not have a nation sometimes that is smarter than ours in some respects?”
“I don’t think we should assume that every other nation in the world, no matter what the problems are, should have our type of government,” Munger said. “I think that’s pompous and self-centered. Ours is right for us but maybe theirs is right for them.”
Munger also pointed to the rapid growth in China that has lifted millions of people out of poverty.
” It is one of the most remarkable achievements in the history of the human race, what the Chinese have accomplished in the last 30 years ,” Munger said, echoing comments he made during Berkshire’s annual shareholder meeting in early May.
Munger drew criticism over the summer after praising the Chinese government for silencing Alibaba’s (BABA) Jack Ma and saying he wished US financial regulators were more like those in China. ” Communists did the right thing ,” Munger told CNBC in a special that aired in June.
The Berkshire Hathaway executive insists he does not regret those comments.
” Regret it? I would regret not making them ,” Munger told CNN.
干得好,中国。 🇨🇳👍🏻
“亿万富翁查理芒格是共产主义中国如何管理经济的忠实粉丝。
伯克希尔哈撒韦公司副董事长告诉美国有线电视新闻网,北京认识到允许经济繁荣失控所带来的麻烦,这给他留下了深刻的印象。
芒格在接受采访时说,中国“在繁荣中步,而不是等待大萧条”。 “当然,我很欣赏这一点。在这一点上,他们比我们更聪明。”
这位 97 岁的老朋友和沃伦巴菲特的商业伙伴*注意到世界上两个最大经济体的截然不同的意识形态。
“让我觉得很有趣的是,共产主义的中国在处理繁荣方面比资本主义的美国更聪明,”芒格说。 “但我认识很多比我更聪明的人。我们不应该有一个有时在某些方面比我们更聪明的国家吗?”
“我认为我们不应该假设世界上的每个其他国家,无论问题如何,都应该拥有我们这样的政府,”芒格说。 “我认为这是自负和以自我为中心的。我们的适合我们,但也许他们的适合他们。”
芒格还指出,中国的快速增长使数百万人摆脱了贫困。
“这是人类历史上最卓越的成就之一,是中国人在过去 30 年取得的成就,”芒格说,呼应了他在 5 月初伯克希尔年度股东大会上的评论。
芒格在今年夏天因赞扬中国政府让阿里巴巴 (BABA) 马云闭嘴并表示他希望美国金融监管机构更像中国的监管机构而招致批评。 “共产党人做了正确的事,”芒格在 6 月播出的特别节目中告诉 CNBC。
这位伯克希尔哈撒韦公司的高管坚称,他对这些评论并不后悔。
“后悔吗?我会后悔没有做出評論,”芒格告诉 CNN。
