he is different from deng xiaoping, for example, for whom i worked with.nd china is now much larger than under deng xiaoping, and much more impactful, as i mentioned, and i think china deserves to have a more affirmative leader, a leader who can really stand up firmly on the global stage and say what the chinese people really think about, in their hearts. you are an expert in international relations. i wonder whether you see dangers in a policy which appears to be prepared to spend $1 trillion or more on this expanded belt and road initiative, which frankly goes far beyond the old silk route from china to the mediterranean. it seems to be a global ambition to spend money from countries like pakistan and sri lanka, in asia, all the way through to south america. vast amounts of money building infrastructure projects to project chinese power, and of course, build up debt owed to china from all of these countries where the infrastructure is being built. it comes at a time when the chinese economy is slowing. can china really afford this? well, first of all, al

actually, i think that china opened up and we gave it credit for deng xiaoping. had of the fundamentals saying. that she had a fundamental saying. he does not matter if it is a white cat or a black cat as long as it catches mice. it's really important and now we see china is developing to become the second largest economy the largest market economy in the world now so we let china have more space and let china continue with opening up and reform and china will be great markets to the world. as a matter of fact, tim hortons, a canadian company opened its jobs in china. open years time, they will 1000 in different cities. starbucks has actually 3600 shops across china, 150 cities. there are 3000 mcdonald's in china. tom friedman, the author of "the world is flat" actually said if the country middle-class is growing large enough and if they are interested in mcdonald's and have their kids go to mcdonald's will be less interested in more -- in war, more interested in peace. who wants to sacrifice such a life or a prosperous life so i think that we really need to thin
