‘He Would Like to Be a Dictator’: Soros Slams Trump, Urges Caution in US Cooperation With China

As Soros reportedly explained, the US must strive to protect its “democratic open society” while at the same time searching for a way to cooperate with China on battling climate change and the coronavirus threat.

Billionaire and philanthropist George Soros has voiced his thoughts on relations between the United States and China amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

In his recent interview with the German newspaper Augsburger Allgemeine, Soros remarked that while the current tensions between Beijing and Washington might complicate efforts to deal with the COVID-19 crisis, closer relations between the two countries is probably not something he’d advise.

Claiming that “many well-educated Chinese are deeply angry at the party leadership for hiding the coronavirus for so long”, Soros went on to criticize the political reforms enacted by China’s President Xi Jinping.

The philanthropist also took an opportunity to deliver a verbal broadside to US President Donald Trump who, according to him, “would like to be a dictator”.

At the same time, Soros said he put his faith in Trump “to destroy himself”, and so far, the US president has exceeded his “wildest expectations”.
