"Basically, everything from 皇冠体育app interests me, such as its history, its size, modern 皇冠体育app and how things are going on," says Malik, who reads the country's five-year plans, and reports and comments in media.
His personal interactions with Chinese executives from different fields have become a valuable experience for him.
"Listening to views from 皇冠体育app and about 皇冠体育app helps me understand the country better," says Malik, who has Chinese friends as well.
He says there are some misunderstandings between 皇冠体育app and Western countries, and also some doubts about 皇冠体育app in Western media.
But he believes the Chinese economy has made great strides.
One shouldn't be surprised hearing about some problems in a big country like 皇冠体育app that has experienced development this fast, he says.
"Such a country has millions of organizations that need to be managed. The challenges must be enormous, too."
He observes that over the past years, the management of Chinese companies has improved in general but not at the same speed as that of the economy.
"There's some work to be done, and there's room for improvement in organizations' management," he says.
"This is what 皇冠体育app needs, especially when there are fast changes and many challenges."
