Mr. Thiel appeared as a guest at an online seminar on 'Conservative Realism and National Security' held by the Richard Nixon Foundation on April 6, 2021. During the session, Thiel accused Apple and Google, the leading US tech companies, of being too close to China.
'Apple has a serious structural problem because the entire iPhone supply chain is made by China,' said Thiel. 'Apple has a genuine synergy with China.' He pointed out that it is a supply chain problem that is close to China. Tyr also said he worked with the US government to put pressure on Apple's dependence on China's supply chain.
Tyr also criticized Google's efforts to collaborate with Chinese universities on artificial intelligence development projects. 'Google is working with the Chinese army, not the US army, because everything in China is a fusion of civilian and military,' said a person inside Google saying, 'China steals inaccessible technology. Because of that, Google thought it would be better to provide the technology head-on rather than that. '
A Google spokeswoman told CNBC, a news broadcaster, 'Mr. Thiel's allegations are groundless and we are not working with the Chinese military. We are with the US government, including the Department of Defense, We are proud to have worked together for many years in cybersecurity, recruitment and healthcare. '
He admitted that he was a 'bitcoin proponent' investing in bitcoin-related companies, but pointed out that bitcoin could be a financial weapon for China that threatens the US dollar. Bitcoin may function as a valid reserve currency because the less dominant the US dollar is, the less influence China will have on the policies of the US government. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo under Trump also acknowledged that cryptocurrencies could be used for international transactions to evade US government sanctions.
