According to a study conducted by the World Bank, Chinese purchasing power will soon overtake that of the US, making it the world's largest economy, and it has been reported that this event will occur ten years earlier than many expected. My view is that despite the fact that an elephant is huge, it is most often the lion or tiger that has the final say in the wild. The success of enterprises like Huawei and, Alibaba can be likened to the concept of genetic variation - only - when there are a wide variety of successful companies can China's voice be compared to the true roar of the dragon.

- The Chinese government will adopt a quiet approach to deflating the dangerous real estate bubble given the huge impact a crash could have on the economy (2014)
- In October 2012, I predicted that Diaoyu's fallout sees China refocus RMB push to both Australia and Canada. A few months later the Australian dollar started to trade directly with renminbi, but not the Canadian dollar
- In January 2013, I said if Xi Jinping truly wants bold reforms, he must allow private enterprises to drive China's economic growth; however, reform of state-owned enterprises has been slow since then and SOEs enjoy a much more favorable atmosphere
As a strategist, economist, consultant, and thought leader, I must learn to overcome my own limitations as a result of past experience, education, cultural upbringing and heritage, personal philosophy and values, internal beliefs, etc. “All wrong-doing arises because of mind. If mind is transformed can wrong-doing remain?”, as a Buddha said.
