I run businesses all around the United States, all around the globe.

Although I don't like the way the Chinese do business, I continue to do business in China. I have to. They're the next world power.

In practice, I've had a presence in China since 1998 with my commercial spaces and shops.

I travel probably four days a week. That's the game of international development. You have to be at your properties. No developer is successful sitting behind their desk.

I'm extremely blessed because I travel extensively for my work, but I always try to incorporate a bit of leisure with business.

At Sequoia, we have opened offices in China and India, and we have made a handful of investments in Latin America/Brazil.

While my trips are most often focused on business, I always try to take some time to experience the local culture.

I had the interesting experience of having lived and worked for six years in China with Procter & Gamble, and that just changes, I think, your whole perspective in living overseas and living in a country like China.

I like doing business with people in India.

I've been going to China every year now for more than a decade.
