Charlie Munger was an American investor, vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway and right-hand man to Warren Buffett (considered the greatest investor of the 20th century). Munger was credited as being the architect of Berkshire Hathaway's business philosophy.

Born in 1924, Munger started his investment career in 1962 (after stints in the military and law) and never looked back. Widely known for speaking his mind, investors flocked to his meetings to hear his best quotes and one-liners. He passed in November last year, just a month shy of his 100th birthday, and still held positive views on China in 2023, despite his poor experience investing in Alibaba.

As an American, He got guts and integrity, RIP forever Mr Munger.

China haters will say Charlie Munger is a CCP agent... 😂
Great compilation by the way

[warren]

These truths will never be seen in the mainstream media

Charlie Munger has proven himself to be right. A lot more than the crazy Washington politicians. Too bad for America, Charlie was not in charge in Washington.
This man is so brutally honest, and he has to be with a business to run.

Munger visits China but not really all that often. Not as often as Cook, Gates or Musk. Certainly not as often as his knowledge of China would have you believe. I know; I’m Chinese. A d yet it both baffles and impresses me that everything he’s said about China is spot on. A highly perceptive and obviously intelligent investor.

8:20 - As a man of Indian origin, I fully agree. I'm so embarassed by my country and the ultranationalism wave.

[raymonddon]

love china and all nations must get along with china and the likes... from chile and mexico!

[meimiaolin]

Why can't the US "democratic" system elect leaders like Munger and Buffet and not warmongers like Bush, Obama, Clinton and Biden?

[Intudesia]

In US politics, you are paid by your financial sponsor to carry out the policy benefiting the sponsor and NOT for the people or the country.

270000 dollar investment turned into 9 billion? If only i had the spare cash 15 years back.

[JimmyChan]

That's the reason why Charlie Munger and his buddy Warren Buffet are one of the most, if not the most successful investors in the world. They see and think totally different from the American politicians, who are such a joke.

[chongsewaun]

All US politcians, please listen to these great gentlemen, ok!

[kckfen]

RIP Charlie Murger, one of the great man with great vision.

In China it is easier to implement policies and stick to it for long term, unlike USA where you change the President every 4 years.

[naradharggh]

The super China has super concepts always.

[davidgamer]

Well said about China matters. Smart man full of wisdom & knowledge. Missed you & God bless. 🙏

[mingtsang-wiee]

china and US should get along . he is right, china is not us enemy,

[sggevyr]

Mr. Munger is so smart and practical. I greatly respect his perspectives.

[arewethebadies]

Wow someone that is speaking sense. That is rare in the US.
