McKinsey & Company has come under scrutiny for establishing a 'think tank' at its Beijing office, using McKinsey's domain, research, and senior staff, which produced a 300-page book advising the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on how to dominate future war technology. The book was presented to CCP Premier Li Keqiang. This development has sparked significant criticism and debate, with some arguing that McKinsey's involvement could undermine U.S. interests. Others, however, believe that the advice provided by McKinsey may be ineffective or even counterproductive for China. The incident has led to calls for the U.S. government to reconsider McKinsey's government contracts and has raised questions about the firm's role in international geopolitics.
McKinsey is a malignant output (and force multiplier) of late-stage capitalism. And yes, it holds a massive dollar volume of USG and DoD contracts even as they support the efforts of PRC/PLA. https://t.co/0o7pYjO5qN
How much work does McKinsey do for the US government? US companies helping the Chinese military (on purpose for money) is a non-starter for the 21st Century. @maphumanintent https://t.co/jWylnXyF8t
If the Chinese Communist Party really hired McKinsey to destroy us we have legitimately never been safer
Awesome. If I were Biden/Trump I would use defense $ to get Mckinsey to provide MORE advice to the CCP. The fewer newly minted MBAs we have in America the better we will do. These ppt warriors are the true front line. https://t.co/3Xf2E6NEqr
the us sending the most useless mckinsey consultants to sabotage beijing’s defense efforts https://t.co/3Oq8fa6IUf https://t.co/QqrgA0l3r2
I love how McKinsey’s reputation seems to be “Ruthless and terrifying but punchline-level incompetent”
no idea why people are freaking out, this was obviously an american op. mckinsey consultants drafting china's defense tech strategy? I have never in my life felt safer. https://t.co/pgbDEpz90M
Well, I don’t think we need to worry about geostrategic competition from China any more. McKinsey has taken care of it for us. https://t.co/y21pospSXZ
Firms like @Deloitte and @McKinsey get paid literally $100,000,000s for government DEI consulting and related nonsense that *weakens* the US, while working to help the CCP figure out how to dominate us. Working at either is shameful. Our lefty faux-elite is rotten to the core. https://t.co/MYMiLRuP6c
I am in full support of not just cancelling all of McKinsey's government contracts, but allowing them to consult *exclusively* for the Chinese and Russian governments as well. In fact, the more they work with those two, the better. It'd be very patriotic of them. https://t.co/c1w0MsLd9x
I agree that McKinsey should suffer on account of being McKinsey but I’m willing to bet a ton of money the US government got their own version of this doc. https://t.co/v50nTgFgwd
Chinese Communist Party hiring McKinsey to help figure out how to take on America, yet another sign of American soft power remaining fully undefeated. https://t.co/1EOznjmJHL
Bad look for McKinsey, but on the bright side for the US, the advice was almost certainly worthless https://t.co/TZ3HMRMku5
McKinsey deploying their crack team of 24 year olds who have never done anything of value to consult with the Chinese military is in fact an incredible work of patriotism. https://t.co/dvdIzP2LY5
We want McKinsey assisting China. First good news I’ve heard in a while. https://t.co/a8EFNPOUKg
So @McKinsey built a "think tank" based at McKinsey's Beijing office, using McKinsey's domain, McKinsey's research, and their senior staff. That "think tank" then authored a 300-page book on how the CCP could dominate future war technology and gave it to CCP Premier Li Keqiang. https://t.co/4hvX6ANgC7 https://t.co/gDflcpB0Q0
McKinsey pushes DEI and ESG in America and a strong military industrial base in China... Just like the #CCP. Shameful! https://t.co/TEuYeoBvda
