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

I believe I and all the Chinese people have such a conviction that China will make continuous progress and the people's wishes for and needs for democracy and freedom are irresistible.

Historians are going to look back on rising China and say America, at least under the Bush years, did not get that wrong.

We encourage China to engage as a good global citizen and we are clear-eyed about where differences do lie.

Fact-checking can wreak havoc on Chinese political mythology.

Only reform and opening up can develop China. We must not be afraid of any risks, and not be confused by any distractions.

What has marked Chinese society is its level of cruelty, not just revolutions and wars. We ought to reject it totally, otherwise in another upheaval there will be further cruelty.

You have to be willing to totally immerse yourself in China in order to have in-depth exposure to China.

China should be developing through the various foreign investments it receives. I hope for its level-headed and rational understanding that anything to discourage that is a disservice to itself.

If we expose the Chinese to our freedoms, it may create a greater hunger for democracy, reform and liberties in China.
