Jordan stayed two days in Beijing before he visited Hong Kong, Taipei and Tokyo during his Asian tour. The 41-year-old Jordan, who guided the Chicago Bulls to six NBA titles, is in the country promoting his clothing line and to speak to youth about the importance of hard work and determination to be successful. "During my tour of Asia, I want to pass along this knowledge and encourage youth around the world that positive energy and high aspirations will lead to excellence, which has helped me and the Jordan brand reach our levels of success," said Jordan, who retired last year after a two-year NBA comeback.
