Attorney General William Barr called out corporate America, including Hollywood and big tech, for “kowtowing” to the regime in Beijing for the sake of profits, in a speech that highlighted the communist regime’s threats to U.S. freedom and prosperity.

Hollywood and U.S. technology companies have allowed themselves “to become pawns of Chinese influence,” Barr said in a speech given at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum Grand Rapids in Michigan on July 16.
