"You may know that the President of China is named Hu. His name is President Hu. And with all the money that we owe China, I think we might rightly say, Hu's your daddy."

"They ought to repeal Sarbanes-Oxley now. If we get back on track, the -- and you know this, as a former ambassador -- the Chinese couldn't compete with us in a hundred years if we got our act together in this country and we got back to doing the right things in this country; at which point we could afford to buy houses, which would solve virtually everything else. You got to be able to afford it to be able to buy it, and that's where things went wrong in the -- in the last decade.”

"There is a concerted effort on the part of the Chinese military, on the part of government, to infiltrate and penetrate whatever they can find here in the United States that might bring them value, value in terms of understanding where our thinking it, value in terms of understanding our latest technology, and it is done very, very aggressively, and without rules and without boundaries. And this is something that we’ve got to begin to understand, because I do believe that now and going forward, cyber security for this country will be extremely important.”

"I would defer to saying it’s probably been pretty neutral [US relations with China]. I don’t think it’s deteriorated, because things are so much better than what I remember in high school. We were fighting the Chinese and the Koreans. One of my teachers was sent to Korea and never came back. So that had an impact on me. So it’s so much better. I think Nixon did a lot of terrible things... But he opened up the door to China. I think we’re much better off talking to the Chinese and trading with the Chinese, and they have an interest in staying peaceful with us, as we have an interest on them, even though we have our differences on some of the trade and 'Why do our companies go to China?' And in some ways, they embarrass us, because they’re more Capitalistic than we are. It’s easier for our businesses to go to China than it is to stay here. That aggravates me. But I blame ourselves for that."

"People in China and Texas share mutual aspirations of prosperity, education for our children, and jobs that pay the bills. We are working to expand and deepen the economic relationship between Texas and China, our third-largest trading partner. We want to increase the billions of dollars in trade that flow between us each year.".

"You know, Mitt [Romney], I don't want to go to a trade war, I want to beat China. I want to go to war with China and make America the most attractive place in the world to do business."
