[Foreign Chinese Architecture ... 'Indigenous' Modern Architecture ... China Architects and Architectural Patriotism ...]

place of experimentation
"Zhang Xin, Co-CEO of SOHO China, the country's most successful real estate developer, asks: What's wrong with that? Every creative industry needs to experiment." (Daragh Moller, btm_04.09.15)

self-confidence
"Architects are naturally interested in new countries and new cultures and places that are delirious and uncertain. ... I don't think these architects are passionate about China. ... An architect's primary concern is to build. And it's so difficult to build." (Zhang Xin, in Daragh Moller, btm_04.09.15)

what attracts
"BTM: Easier to build here than elsewhere?
ZX: Yes, but really it's not easy anywhere. Look at [Rem] Koolhaus [sic]. He's tried every possible way to get his building built [the new CCTV building, currently shelved] and Herzog & de Meuron's [Olympic Stadium, halted for a time]. It's just not easy." (Daragh Moller, btm_04.09.15)
