Former McKinsey & Company senior partner Peter Walker joined 'Tucker Carlson Tonight' Thursday to discuss his former company's relationship with China and Beijing's response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Walker defended recent comments he made stating that China deserved "high praise" for their quarantine measures."I think the harsh action that they took, given the scale of China and the number of big cities ... was exactly what they needed to do to be able to prevent the outbreak from going any further," Walker told host Tucker Carlson, "And the reality is, the outbreak hasn't gone much beyond Wuhan.
"They had to do it, otherwise -- if you could imagine the scale of China -- if that blew out in large numbers to other cities, the numbers would be off the charts," Walker answered.Carlson then brought up China's human rights violations, specifically the persecution of the predominantly Muslim Uighurs in the northwest of the country.
Walker then claimed that McKinsey advised American companies to outsource manufacturing to China during a time when the public perception of free trade was favorable and China's power in the pharmaceutical world was unforeseen."I think we're in a different world now in terms of being much clearer about what really essential goods are or not," he said.
