The biggest obstacle in interacting with China is the difference in perspectives about basic values. These include issues such as human rights, the concept of law and constitution.

In my life, I often make so-called major decisions by very quick, immediate responses.

My childhood was quite extreme. Sometimes I was so weak I could not stand up. But now I am so strong. Life is unpredictable

I think I'm just a traveler. When you walk across a river and there's no bridge, you build one. I'm used to having to deal with Chinese Communist ideology - it's not really an ideology, but a method of control. But China's problems are not just China's problems - they're human problems. Humanity has always worked better when you see it as one.

It is not an easy job to govern China, I am aware of that.

So-called Chinese art and culture is under control of the Party. They exist to serve the official agenda. I call it fake art and culture.
