I'm not really a money-oriented person. The press always write that I am. They don't seem to want to understand that I love the comfort of Japan and love the fact it's more peaceful, less frenzied than Hong Kong.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Japanese press likes me a lot, but the problem is the Japanese government. It's very bureaucratic.
There are still people in Japan who think money is something evil.
When a population saves a lot, the funds are invested outside the country as well as inside. If the Japanese invest in the United States, it pushes their exchange rate down and makes their manufacturing more competitive.
I feel very keenly the eyes of the foreign media on our country. And I think a lot of Japanese people feel that things are not working the way they should. When the time comes, I will put myself forward.
If you're too free, you're like the way Hong Kong is now. It's very chaotic.
You work to earn money. But in Japan, that idea has a bad image, and you're not supposed to say that.
Hong Kong has always been a dynamic and exciting and high-energy city, and it has that New York thing going on, and people here care about how they look.
The Japanese people are usually very prudent, even when they are convinced change is necessary.
Be realistic and truthful - and tell Hong Kong businessmen honestly that they should go for long-term investments since it is unlikely money can be made in the short haul.
The people of Hong Kong are criticized for only being interested in business, but it's the only thing they've been allowed to do.
