Doing business in China requires establishing long-term personal relationships to avoid being defrauded by vendors. Because trust is low within the domestic Chinese market, foreign companies often face significant risks when engaging with new suppliers. Successful manufacturing partnerships typically depend on years of cultivation to ensure quality and reliability.

In an interview with Don Lemon, Christopher Wylie attempted to discredit Cambridge Analytica by claiming the company used "honey traps" and strip clubs to secure contracts. Wylie's assertion that he was the "only gay guy in London" with a strip club membership was mocked as a naive misunderstanding of standard, albeit sleazy, business entertainment practices. The interview is seen as a failing attempt to secure a book deal through sensationalism.
