I always hate it when they make out the Chinese or the Russians to be 10 feet tall and we are midgets. It is just the opposite, and I just think we have to keep that out there.

I will confirm for you that, yes, our budget is larger than the next 11 combined, including China.

Your Statement makes crystal clear that self-regulation is not an option for parents and children in the United States of America.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for convening this hearing on the Chinese government and party's coercive use of its economic might to pursue its political objectives and to silence critics.

It's essential that we respond. A huge thank you to the Women's Tennis Association for being very powerful in its response to Ms. Peng's treatment.
