Bill Clinton: “I strongly agree with that, pushing that. And again, I say that does not let us off the hook to do things here at home…”

“I strongly agree with that, pushing that. And again, I say that does not let us off the hook to do things here at home, it just makes good sense. It's easier for--we should give these other countries a chance to choose an alternative path. I never will forget a couple of years ago--I know we've got to wrap up--but I had a fascinating conversation with the President of China a couple of years ago, and we were discussing what our future would be and whether we wished to contain China. And I said, ``I don't wish to contain China.'' I said, ``The biggest security threat China presents the United States is that you will insist on getting rich the same way we did.'' And he looked at me, and I could tell he had never thought of that. And I said, ``You have to choose a different future, and we have to help. We have to support you. And that does not in any way let us off the hook. But it just means that we have to do this together.'' Well, this has been fascinating. You guys have been great, and I thank you a lot.”
