The total economy of Latin America is bigger than China.

We're living through the twilight of American economic dominance.

The American consumer, even today, the weight of the American consumer in the global economy is China plus India doubled. So, it's tough to replace that.

China saves too much, produces too much, sells too much to Americans and consumes too little.

Chinese economic development has cost many American workers their jobs. That's the price of progress.

The world has changed. It's not enough to simply buy American; we have to sell American, sell our products and goods and services throughout this world.

Fortunately there is more wealth in the world than there was at the time of the global economic crisis of 1929 - Chinese, Indian, Arab and Russian.

You know, I think of the global economy as an inverted triangle, resting on the shoulders of the American consumer. And if the American consumer cannot have enough disposable income in order to maintain a standard of living that creates more opportunities generation after generation, that's bad for everybody.

The U.S. - E.U. economic relationship dwarfs America's economic ties with China.

As economic globalization gathers momentum, China and the United States have become highly interdependent economically. Such economic relations would not enjoy sustained, rapid growth if they were not based on mutual benefit or if they failed to deliver great benefits to the United States.
