Remember, China is the largest country in the world, so they have the confidence, the capital and resources to create large companies.

China - if you think about what is the character of China, it's enormous scale. It's bigness.

China is not only formidable, it is also aggressively building its own economic infrastructure. Just a few years from now, China will rival the U.S. and the European Union in global market power. It already has surpassed us in population.

At some point, the spectacular growth in China has to stop.

China is an area where we need to be present. Lots of companies want to supply their products to China.

Chinese growth will either be strong or very strong. They have a voracious demand for energy that will only continue to grow. What they're doing... is looking at all forms of energy. They're going ahead very strongly with coal, nuclear, oil, natural gas.

Beijing, much as it has done with Hong Kong, persists in equating 'people power' with instability.

China has all the advantages in the world. But it doesn't have a history of free thinking, risk-taking pioneers - the kind of people the U.S. is built upon.

Even as China's growth slows, it will continue to be a powerhouse for the global economy.

China's development benefits other countries.
