“China's influence is growing; it is natural that they want to integrate more, do more business with countries around them, and the Belt and Road is a constructive way in which they can do so.”

“My colleagues went on the Internet, went on Facebook, and they found it helpful, and they persuaded me that I should try, so I did. It's quite fun provided you keep it in balance and... from time to time slip in a serious message.”

“My infrastructure must run brilliantly. My whole system must be different from what you can get anywhere else in Asia.”

“Every single time I defended the belt, it was against the best guy in the world.”

“I'll just keep making money, and eventually the belt will come to me.”

“I always said the 155-pound belt's been in so many grubby hands, man.”
