Jerry Yang on China
He says he believes the society is changing very quickly, and he says that the people there have a tremendous amount
of hope and confidence that didn't exist there ten years ago. As a society he thinks they have started down a one-way
street, in that they have to give people more education, technology and a free market. He thinks those things will
drive freedom of speech.
He asks all the time if he is helping a good or bad regime and that he doesn't always believe in, and that they have
that issue in Germany too.
He believes that by being there and providing infrastructure that they are going to have a positive influence. He says
that is what he is investing in, creating a dialogue now.

about 3 minutes. Here's the Mp3.
