I will use an example. With Belt and Road, China actually put a lot of money into the Shanghai port. The port couldn't pay it back, so China took over the port. China is putting a lot of money into Belt and Road and the agreements that are made. They are using their own technology. Whether it is building a rail line or a computer system, they are using their own technology—and, in the future, you will always have to buy from China because you can't get the product from elsewhere. They are protecting their own interests. We will constantly have to buy from China. They are tying us up. We can't go outside those parameters because they have used all their knowledge, all their technology and all their infrastructure, and we are bound and tied to it.
