Given that Tom Friedman reported that Bill Gates=Britney Spears in China, this isn't surprising. Chinese consider successful capitalists to be superheroes.

My brother sat next to Buffett at a business lunch. Buffett is my brother's hero, and it was an experience he'll never forget. I think they just talked about the weather.
