a lot of adjectives in that statement. I would make a few points. First, there's plenty of propaganda here. I'm completely opposed to what the Chinese government has done to suppress free speech, but to think that we here are the ones who see the unvarnished truth, I think is very far from reality. For all the terrible things China has done, they are our only peer country.

They do many things better than we do, and we just have to learn from them. Many, many more Americans should visit China, should try to learn Chinese, should preoccupy themselves with China, but in an open way. China entering the World Trade Organization, I don't think that was nearly as significant a fact as people like to portray.

The chance that a cure from cancer comes from China is as high than the chance that it comes from the United States. Economically speaking, the two countries really cannot do without each other. We need to find a way to live with them.

I think that's largely true. I think our attitudes toward them are not entirely different. The United States does want to, quote unquote, hold China down. I don't think that's an unreasonable view. But at the end of the day, it's a lot of talk on both sides, and we need to learn to live together for military reasons, trade reasons, tech reasons. The whole future of the world relies on that.

Well, what we actually did was built a much better system. We didn't attack them. We pursued detente. We tried to reach some kind of understanding. We sent them cultural exchanges. We sent them rock and roll and the Beatles. And over time, yeah, people in those systems ceased to believe in them. And that's how we won really remarkably peacefully.
