For all President-elect Donald Trump's anti-China talk, Chinese business leaders say they're looking forward to working with a "businessman."
"You, know, he's good at making deals, 'The Art of the Deal,' right, so reaching a deal that's beneficial for both sides" will be key, Charles Zhang, CEO of Chinese internet search giant Sohu.com, told CNBC. "I think it's important to sit down and talk. That's … a positive side of the Trump presidency."
"I wouldn't worry," added Zhang, who has a doctorate degree in experimental physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
He spoke this past weekend on the sidelines of the MIT-China Innovation and Entrepreneurship Forum, where Chinese business executives and fund managers were mostly upbeat about growth prospects for Chinese companies.
