the fact that we have embraced ,hina, we have embraced india shows that. the real question, i think, that you might have is why are there not more women? we have many women working in our china business that are you -- then our u.s. business. where women, particularly in america and also in europe, tend to elect not to study the sciences when there are 11 and -- when they are 11 and 12 so suddenly the hiring pool is smaller. >> some would say you are not looking hard enough. >> we look very hard. we just hired a young woman from stanford who is every bit as good as her peers. what we are not prepared to do is to lower our standards. if there are fabulously bright, driven women who are really interested in technology, very hungry to succeed, and can meet our performance standards, we would hire them all day and night. >> you took a step back from day-to-day operations. how are you doing? we are you take on new boards. what's it been like? >> i've enjoyed it. i did so for a variety of reasons. i talked about it at the time. i act as, i hope, a helpful team m

hina cannot jump from 0 to 0,000. >> i'm hank. i spent 54 years in defense including three years in the .s. navy where i was off a huge u.s. fleet in 1958. but i also spent in my 28 years in the office of secretary of defense almost 13 years intensively engaged in nuclear weapons. i have a question at the end here but i just wanted to know. i've never heard in those years anybody in the u.s. government use the word compelance. second, i never have heard in all my discussions across the years in international relations anybody talk about u.s. wanting hedge emni or hegemonic rool around the world. it doesn't just come up. and i've confirmed that with a number of people. just a quick reflection on the nuclear armed bomb. i was deeply involved in that. you know the war head on this small age nt round was 1 kilo ton. a thousand tons of tnt. but it was an accident that we got that weapon as linten knows. t my real question is, and this is supposed to be provocative. how much, in your work, do you rely on articles about u.s. nuclear weap

hina a close ally in how would you define that relationship? guest: this is an excellent question. decades west seven can see that there is a profound parts chinatrust and north korea. we know this because we have gotten into the diplomatic archives of their former communist allies. you can see that throughout this time there have been moments where they felt the china was being overly interventionist. chinesesee that the were not always respectful of the north korean sovereignty. they are very sensitive to this. you can see it in the conversations they have had with ther officials throughout world, communist and not communist, they are describing this over and over again and it's to the point where today again there is this profound sense of mistrust towards beijing. from my reading, if we were to ask china to use its influence over north korea, asking them to do precisely what they most resent. to be sure there is leverage through their economic support and they have more access, but we only need to look at this in another perspective. we'll need to consider how much influence th

the region most applicable to you in terms of your addressable market, where the customers are. .hina'sgram availability for capital is one thing but acceptability is another thing. they see a lot of the early stages are self-funded. bc is not far behind as well. where do you see that as a challenge? is it a challenge in your eyes in hong kong? perspective,rtup we are at this stage of capital raising. there is been some volatility in the later stage markets but we haven't seen a drop or an increasing difficulty and fundraising. what we keep coming back to his the needs of the startups to gain commercial validation through corporate partnership. once they have achieved that, really getting that transformation or agreement, contract, adoption integration. so raising capital is not an issue. have thisu partnership. hong kong, and singapore. do think as a partnership, where is the opportunity there? >> originally, you had a lot of startups looking to dismantle, wanted around what they to do with the incumbent players. now as ecosystem is developing, a see it's a complement, not substitute.

there is growth opportunity in ,hina, particularly online which continues to grow as a percentage of retail. huge room for us to grow in china still good we are going for growth as well and expansion in other markets. india is the market that we have chosen as our second market in the world. that is where i spend a lot of my time. and we continue to hit sales records in india. emily: any update on when you will be selling phones in the u.s.? have to ask you every time. hugo: we are obviously getting closer. we are starting to the preparation work to launch in the west. but it is further out than what i can easily predict. we are not talking about launching phones in the u.s. this year, to be clear. but it is something we're working on. it is going to take a while, obviously, paring phones for the wireless spectrum in the u.s. come having all of our operations up and running, knowing how to do marketing here. one of the reasons why we are -- launching, it is a product made for the u.s. market. emily: drones, when are they coming? there was a hint yesterday online, showing a picture of
