China Is Growing And The Rest Of The World Is Declining

I haven’t sold any of my assets in China. My Chinese shares are for my children. Yes, there are problems in China, sure. But I assure you, if there are problems in China, the rest of us have serious problems, too.

I don’t know if China will grow 7 percent. Why can’t they grow 2 or 3 percent? Two percent is more than fine. The rest of the world is declining. - in CNBC
