...Today, with Capital M without question one of the essential spots for visitors to Beijing and its initial teething problems seemingly solved, Garnaut says she is slowly relaxing and possibly even thinking about further projects in China. They will no doubt produce their own uniquely Chinese challenges, but Garnaut reckons she is ready. "I'm creative, but I am also tenacious," she says.
