Beijing is my favorite city in China.

China is a great country with a great culture, populated by fascinating, industrious and talented people.

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

China in particular is an absolutely fascinating place to be. Culturally and politically and economically it's becoming more and more relevant. If you look at how China is perceived in different parts of the world, you can recognize it's very dynamic. It's also challenging what it thinks of itself.

I always was fascinated with China, because I was born in Europe, and for us, China had this fascination and mystery. The first time I came here was in 1989. They were on bicycles, and the speed of the growth has been incredible.

When I was growing up I spent a lot of time reading about ancient China and was really fascinated.

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.

I've always been fascinated by the Chinese. This goes a long way back to my childhood. The Chinese invented money, movable type, clocks, and built the largest ships in the history of the world.

The person I love most is the Dalai Lama. China destroyed his country, yet he says that it's imperative we show love for the Chinese.

I feel perhaps my heart is still in China.
