| Munger praises Chinese government's moves to reduce speculation CNBC aired a one-hour special Tuesday evening called "Buffett & Munger: A Wealth of Wisdom" with extensive portions of a taped interview Becky Quick did recently with Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger.
It generated a lot of headlines, and some of them focused on Munger's praise for the Chinese government's moves to reduce what he sees as "excess" speculation.  "The people who are avoiding it are the Communist Chinese. They step in preemptively to stop speculation ... [Alibaba Group co-founder] Jack Ma is one of the swingers. So they just cut his — they said 'to hell with you...'
"He basically gave a speech, when he said to a one-party state, 'Well, you guys are a bunch of jerks and you don't know what you're doing, and I know what I'm doing and I'm going to do it better.' And he was going to wade into banking — and no rules — and just do whatever he pleased...
"The Chinese Communists did the right thing. They just called in Jack Ma and said, 'You aren't doing to do it, sonny.'
"I wish we had a — I don't want the — all of the Chinese system, but I certainly would like to have the financial part of it in my own country."
Munger and Buffett differ on key aspect of pandemic life Munger likes Zoom and thinks the videoconferencing trend is here to stay. Buffett isn't a fan.
But they agree on key belief that's guided them in life
