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

The U.S.-China relationship, of course, has elements of both cooperation and competition.

Although China and United States are competitors, China and the United States are indeed partners in trade.

China can and will be an invaluable trading partner to both the U.S. and the U.K.

Building a good, stable, and productive China-U.S. relationship is in our mutual interest of our two countries and our two peoples, and also contributes to peace and development.

China can be our partner, but that doesn't mean that they can just roll all over us and steal our jobs on an unfair basis.

As President Obama clearly said just a few months ago, China must play by the international rules, the international trading system from which they've benefited so much.

Russia and China, when they were communist-like adversaries, they didn't participate. They're participating now in the world with us. They're trading monetary instruments. We're buying and selling goods back and forth, trading oil and so forth.

China and the U.S. have a very symbiotic relationship which will not decline any time soon. There are more shared interests as compared to shared differences and for this reason relations will continue to be good.

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