He's an interesting character isn't he, I'm still not sure what to make of him

To be far he's a clever business man ,always thinking ,caring for his region and his wealth, good luck to him , he is finally steering us in the right , much more that the Lebanese chap whose name eludes me .

I was once asked to attend a meeting simply to sit on a table to separate the Japanese and South Korean government officials due to an ongoing dispute between them - and many existing enmities in the region have been exacerbated by Chinese expansionism in the South China Sea.
I have sat in several meeting wondering how much more powerful the region would be (and how much it would weaken The West) if the number of disputes in the region could be settled. As many of them are very longstanding and serious I don't expect it to happen in the short term.
