TOKYO -- Goldman Sachs has an important role to play in supporting Chinese economic reform, Chairman and CEO Lloyd Blankfein told The Nikkei here Wednesday in a wide-ranging interview that also touched on Toshiba, bitcoin and the prospect of his retirement.
The Wall Street bank has been building up its China-related business, including through a partnership with state wealth fund China Investment Corp. announced last fall. Blankfein stressed the country's importance as a market for Goldman Sachs, noting that "we've had a relationship with [China] for a long time."
