Design is very, very critical for the success of the car. We want to find the distinctive features for Chinese cars on the world stage.

We carry out our work under the leadership of the government.

Chinese entrepreneurs have to implement their work under the leadership of the Party and the government - it is very clear.

I believe the auto industry is a competition of human resources, competition of funding, competition of technology - and the competition is international.

Volvo is like a mysterious, beautiful woman. We just look at her from far away, amazed. We don't dare get close to her. We're just a bunch of farm boys.

Life is a question without a standard answer.

Product investment, quality management, and all the things that are key for a car company - great, there has been no compromise in those aspects. But I feel there's a lot we could do on communication, particularly from a Chinese perspective.

Our dream is to see Geely vehicles driven all over the world.

I hope to buy brands and businesses globally.

I believe the auto business is a highly comprehensive and complicated business. It's not that easy for people simply to enter and ruin the whole thing.

Particularly in China, I think a lot of people start to realise, OK, what are the things that they truly should value? That's something that fits perfectly well with what Volvo is offering.

I think it is definitely right to listen to the Party and follow up government's instructions.
