If the Chinese economy can be opened so that currencies are convertible, Chinese tourists can take money and go see the world. Chinese businessmen can go and buy property in the U.S. and France and every place. All of a sudden, it's just going to be a blossoming global economy. I think it's going to be good for everybody.

Even as China's growth slows, it will continue to be a powerhouse for the global economy.

With its population making up one fifth of the world's total, China offers a market with enormous potential.

We all know that China is industrializing at a growth rate of 8 to 10 percent per year. China is on track to pass the U.S. as the largest economy in the world in 20 to 25 years, and China is determined to give its people a chance at this high standard of living that we enjoy.

We see China as a large market opportunity with similar cyclical economic cycles that occur throughout every economy.

Our experience is that it is not terribly difficult to do business in China. But the issue is, how much stability do you have in terms of what you negotiate up front and when you've got your feet and your investments on the ground.

I think China represents huge opportunities for Europe.

We see China becoming an unstoppable force. It's a huge threat and a huge opportunity.

We have in-depth knowledge about Chinese industries. We know what's driving the country's economic growth.

I think the Chinese model is one that appeals more and more in the developing world. People see that an authoritarian state can hold onto power, can hold on to stability and can drive the economy forward.
