What there is no dispute about is whether or not China is a currency manipulator. They are a currency manipulator. They actively intervene every single day to keep the value of their currency less than it would be against the dollar than if it floated freely. We think. Even China barely disputes that.

Although I don't like the way the Chinese do business, I continue to do business in China. I have to. They're the next world power.

I foresee the Chinese ruling the world. What are you going to do to stop it? No president of the United States will ever have enough power to stop the Chinese when they want to take over the world.

I believe China is a major trade violator. The Chinese break all the rules. They counterfeit our goods, steal our international property rights, and hack the computers of our industries and government. Something must be done about it.

So if you look back over the long history of China, they've never tried to take over the world, but they've been quite aggressive in their own neighborhood... in carrying out their own purposes and interests in their sphere of the world.

It's not mainland China that rubs me up the wrong way, it is the dictatorship that rubs me up the wrong way. It's the freedom that we Chinese people are not allowed that rubs me up the wrong way.

I think that there is a concern, a question mark, by people all around the world and governments all around the world, as to what China's intentions are.

I grew up pretty much prevented from knowing anything from Communist China except that they were the bad guys that stole our country.

I don't care what political party is controlling China right now. All I know is we are all Chinese.

China has always been very hospitable, but we can choose who enters our house. We could not allow any companies to enter China and make money while hurting the country.
