I don't consider Americans bullies, but I do consider the American government bullying.

Standing up to bullies is the hallmark of a civilized society.

Americans are fighters. We're tough, resourceful and creative, and if we have the chance to fight on a level playing field, where everyone pays a fair share and everyone has a real shot, then no one - no one can stop us.

America, I am a strong believer that how we treat each other matters.

We've got to stand up for ourselves. That is, draw some lines, make it clear that after awhile, we're not going to get bullied or pushed around, because I think there are some in China who want to push the United States around. They want to bully us.

There are a group of people who would like to silence everybody and have everybody go along to get along, but that's not going to be very helpful for us in the long run, in terms of solving our problems. And somebody has to be courageous enough to actually stand up to, you know, the bullies.

Americans adore me and will go on adoring me until I say something nice about them.

I really believe that all of us, as Americans... we all need to be treated like fellow human beings.

The way Americans understand and treat other peoples almost guarantees that the world will suffer more trouble.

When people bully us, we are complicit in it in some way. We do allow it to happen to some extent.
