He’s going to—I think he’s going to very much surprise you on the upside. I asked him, I’d like you to buy it a little faster. I’d like you to buy more. He’s more or less agreed to do that. I think we will be pleasantly surprised by the actions of President Xi. I have a good relationship, great relationship with him. I like him. He likes me. I’m going to be going there in April… I’m going to be going to China in April with Japan.”
