The world’s largest asset manager, BlackRock, on Sept. 8 responded to sharp criticism by billionaire investor George Soros, who took issue with the firm’s recent investments in China.

In a rare Wall Street Journal editorial published on Sept. 6, Soros had warned that pouring money into China amounts to aiding a repressive regime engaged “time of a life and death conflict” with the democratic values upheld by the United States.
