thanks for joining us. give us your take on the riots in this town and what s happening. this tells me that china s xi jinping s got problems. he s got a slow economy, and now this zero covid lockdown policy has caused riots. and this riot was a combination of a wage protest and protests over the lockdowns. this is an iphone 14 plant, they make about 80% of that production, and these workers live in dorms on site. they were told they d get paid more, showed up and told they wouldn t get paid that amount, and they were under lockdown. joey, i hate seeing these riots over a product that we buy. it s just not right. joey: i like how you connect what s happening in china, you know, you ve said this is probably a covid lockdown and wage dispute, not just something technical like wages. it s also how they re being treated. but i like how you connect it back to our own supply chain and the idea that this highlights
