“China is the most important relationship that the United States will have over the next 25 years. China comprises 22 percent of the world population. We cannot isolate the Chinese. If we walk away from the Chinese, the Japanese, the Europeans, the Brazilians, every other country will go into China. So we have to engage the Chinese. I think, as the gentleman from Arizona said, if we cut off MFN, that is tantamount to declaring war with China. China then will become a very belligerent power. Right now they are not expansionary, as we saw with the Soviet Union.”
