Zhang Xin - Chief Executive, Soho China

Interviews with newsmakers and personalities from across the globe. Gavin Esler speaks to Zhang Xin, one of only 24 self-made female billionaires in the world.

But what kind of China did she return to, a country heading for economic problems, or possibly an emerging democracy as well as an emerging super-power?
