 Could be. Did yoi read his writings on China? 
I appreciated them as he portrays a very different picture of China from the very negative one we get through news and media.

 Yeah he has some interesting views and insights and i definitely think there is value in there.
Comment is based on Bridgewater making most of its money in china with a lot of questionmarks  why he is allowed ?🤷‍♂️
He has clear incentives to talk up china so i take his words with a bit of salt

 Why isn’t he allowed? Is there some US sanction that Bridgewater gets special treatment with?

 No its massively difficult to invest in china as a foreign entity but ccp is cool with bridgewater
Why that is can be legit reasons but who knows

 My first guess is it might be as simple as CCP is cool with how deep Bridgewater’s pockets are. Money talks. Could be wrong 🤷🏻

 I'd assume because he's always treated the Chinese with respect and knows their culture well enough to make deals which benefit both parties? 

I get what you're saying yeah

 I tend to not give hedgefund managers the benefit of the doubt especially if they have a financial incentive to sell me propaganda.
