TOKYO -- Chinese investment group Fosun is keen to play matchmaker. The idea, according to Chairman Guo Guangchang, is to find promising foreign companies that have outgrown their home turf and help them tap China's massive consumer market.

A wealthier, aging population will also open up new opportunities for growth, said Guo, who predicts nearly half of the country's 1.3 billion people will soon be part of the middle class.  Excerpts from his recent interview in Tokyo follow.
