• George Soros: “Congress should pass legislation empowering the Securities and Exchange Commission to limit the flow of funds to China.”
• Bill Walton: According to Soros, pursuing “Common Prosperity,” which may be Xi’s code word for Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), does not augur well for foreign investors - “Chinese companies proclaiming not to pursue economic objects is bad for investors”
