China, hidden and mysterious, has always interested me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In China, we think that if you want something to happen, you don't talk about it. So I will keep who I want to work with as my secret.
China - if you think about what is the character of China, it's enormous scale. It's bigness.
China and the Asian territory is an incredible opportunity. We spend a lot of time looking at it, looking for the right partners.
I sort of wanted to reveal this other side of Asia: Southeast Asia, where the Chinese have been wealthy for generations and have different ways of relating to money. I wanted to sort of reveal this world to readers.
I always love China, especially the old China.
When I was growing up I spent a lot of time reading about ancient China and was really fascinated.
I have spent time in Mongolia, in China.
Once I became interested in China, I flew to Beijing in 1996 to spend half a year studying Mandarin. The city stunned me.
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.
I went to China for a brief working visit, and I thought that Shanghai was interesting, but Beijing totally grabbed me.
