We see China becoming an unstoppable force. It's a huge threat and a huge opportunity.

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.

China is doing lots of things right. It's investing in education and R&D, it's opening up, it's more cosmopolitan than it's ever been. I think it's very likely that China will continue to explode economically and certainly become a superpower.

China is crippling our manufacturing economy and eliminating our jobs by illegally flooding our markets.

People are not trying to get into China, they're trying to get out of China. The United States is the only great country where people are trying to get into to this country for obvious reasons.

This nation is notorious for its ability to make or fake anything cheaply. 'Made-in-China' goods now fill homes around the world. But our giant country has a small problem. We can't manufacture the happiness of our people.

We should be doing more business with China. We should be better connected to the Chinese economy.

I am convinced that China needs to be a strong trading partner with the United States long term.

President Bush has said that the economy is growing, that there are jobs out there. But you know, it's a long commute to China to get those jobs.

Because of the economic crisis, China and the United States are bound together. This is a totally new phenomenon, and nobody will fight for ideology anymore. It's all about business.
