After graduation, it was the time of booming mobile industries with introduction 3G technologies, I started working in research and development of 3G technologies, inspired by my own professor in the university and the fast development in China. There are few things which are most appealing in China for me, rich culture, diverse landscape, friendly people, hardworking spirit etc. I have been in living in Beijing for 3 decades, although I have visited other cities in China, it’s no surprise to say that Beijing is my favorite city. 我1992年来到中国，在北京邮电大学开始就读本科。我目前从事移动通信行业。北京邮电大学硕士毕业后，正值移动行业蓬勃发展，3G技术的引入，我在大学里的教授和中国的快速发展的启发下，开始从事3G技术的研发工作。在中国，很少有什么东西对我最有吸引力，丰富的文化、多样的景观、友好的人民、勤劳的精神等等。我在北京生活了30年，尽管我去过中国的其他城市，但北京是我最喜欢的城市也就不足为奇了。

A：I myself have witnessed tremendous development in technology, especially in digital technology in China in past few decades, even I am somehow involved myself. To give you an example, in the last decade of 20th century, the mobile phone network started deploying in China, there was no Chinese technology. After year 2000, Chinese companies started developing own 3G mobile systems and by 2010 4G was already in the market and Chinese companies were contributing to global standards. In 2020, Chinese companies were leading the development of 5G technologies. I starting working in development of 3G, 4G and 5G mobile technologies standards in different Chinese companies. There are lot of opportunities in this field in China.在过去的几十年里，我亲眼目睹了技术的巨大发展，尤其是中国的数字技术，甚至我自己也参与其中。举个例子，在20世纪的最后十年，移动电话网络开始在中国部署，当时还没有中国的技术。2000年后，中国公司开始开发自己的3G移动系统，到2010年4G已经进入市场，中国公司正在为全球标准做出贡献。2020年，中国公司引领5G技术的发展。我开始在不同的中国公司从事3G、4G和5G移动技术标准的开发工作。中国在这个领域有很多机会。

Purchasing power of Chinese consumers has increased tremendously, and there are opportunities in every fields.随着中国经济和技术的发展，中国市场不仅在技术领域，而且在服务领域都有很多机会。中国消费者的购买力大增，各个领域都有机会。

 

Q：China has been opening up various sectors and improving business environment. What are fields that need further improvement in your eye? 中国不断扩大各领域对外开放，不断改善营商环境。在您看来哪些领域需要进一步提高?

A：Although I don’t have experience in entrepreneurship, I assume that further simplifying business registrations and relaxing requirements for foreign entrepreneurs will certainly be helpful. 虽然我没有创业经验，但我认为进一步简化企业注册和放宽对外国企业家的要求肯定会有所帮助。
