The Wrap reports that WWE CSFO George A. Barrios spoke at the UBS UBS Global Media and Communications Conference on Tuesday and discussed WWE’s expansion in China.

“As far as where do we have more to do, [it] is China and some of that is just the time,” said Barrios. “If you look at the S-curve, when we enter a market…we follow kind of an S-curve of growth. China is still in the first part of that S-curve, as we’re only about eight or nine years in. It usually takes us five to ten years for the brand to hit an inflection point and then hopefully hit a second one. So I’d like to say in China we’re where we were in India after eight or nine years.”
