There are 1.3 billion people in China, and they all want a Buick.

At some point, the spectacular growth in China has to stop.

I think the rise of China is inevitable, because China has moved from a low-cost producer, at low levels of technology, to higher levels of technology, and because it's very competitive, even in some high-tech products they offer at very competitive rates - much lower than their competitors.

People always want cars. It's a huge industry, and there's always new product coming out.

Product investment, quality management, and all the things that are key for a car company - great, there has been no compromise in those aspects. But I feel there's a lot we could do on communication, particularly from a Chinese perspective.

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 don't believe the market can be dominated by one company in e-commerce in China - namely Alibaba. The Chinese market is very wide and deep, with a huge population.

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

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