> Him and his colleague Charles Munger fawn over China exactly as the grandparent post said

I've noticed the same thing. At least since the BYD investment they do.

And it's not just not criticizing, some times they actually praise him. For example, I remember an interview where Charlie Munger was asked what he thought about bitcoin (he hates it) and he went out of his way to say that Xi Jinping was much smarter than American leadership in banning it.

Now I agree it should be banned, but could he not have made such point without bringing Xi Jinping into it? It was really weird.

> It was really weird.

Assume that the Xi's briefings about (and impressions of) Munger are heavy on content like this:

   - Praised Xi on topic T1 at date D1
   - Praised Xi on topic T2 at date D2
   - Criticized Xi on topic T3 at date D3
   - Praised Xi ...

And Munger wants both (1) to be relatively well thought-of by Xi and (2) to be able to criticize Xi.
