"So, it's been very exciting being in China after having visited many times in the past and seeing the progress over time. So, that's been very impressive. In terms of our future work here, it's important, I think, to buttress confidence, to ensure that the private sector, both Chinese and foreign investors, are confident in the Chinese economy, in the regulatory environment. So, I think that the dynamism that's been in China for the past few decades needs to be nurtured for the future. And if so, we think that strong growth can continue in China."

"It's a very big country and I'd like to understand the full range of the country. So, I'm looking forward to seeing a number of regions along the coast and the interior and the west. So that's one of my goals. Another particular interest I have is to look at some of the issues you raised about how businesses are developing in China - the dynamism of the business sector, new companies coming in. What happens to companies that are less efficient? Are they bought out? Do they exit industries? So, I think this will be a key issue in China going forward. So it's something I'm looking into and it's connected to innovation that you mentioned earlier."

Marshall Mills, the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) recently-appointed senior resident representative in China, says his new assignment has given him a better chance to understand what drives China's economy.
In an interview with China Global Television Network (CGTN), Mills, who took up his post in February, said previous visits to Beijing and Shanghai were important but did not tell the full story.
He emphasized the importance of fostering confidence among both Chinese and foreign investors in the Chinese economy and its regulatory framework.

Mills also outlined his plans to explore different regions of China to gain a comprehensive understanding of the country's economic landscape.
