"We are not trying to contain China. And in fact, the United States continues to have a comprehensive trade and investment relationship with China."

"We are engaged in an intense competition with China across many areas, but it is not in our interest for that competition to veer into conflict."

"Increasingly, it is China. So we are penalizing ourselves if we are not getting our full team on the field as quickly as possible."

"We do. I think--let me put it this way, in my capacity as Secretary of State, I have signed out more cases for Taiwan than any of my predecessors."
