I see nefarious things with China. I see no good with what they are doing.

I think we need to change our game plan.

Congress will play a critical role in promoting the U.S. as the best partner of choice in the region.

I was proud to lead on two important pieces of legislation, the BUILD Act, and the Championing U.S. Business Through Diplomacy Act that will play a critical role in countering China's influence.

Let me be clear, we are not telling sovereign nations who they can and cannot do business with.

If we collectively stand up against China, China will get the message in one sense, militarily.

We are at a different time and place in history, with world powers juggling for preeminence.

I think we need to have economic repivoting in manufacturing in the world, and I like to refer to it as ABC, manufacture anywhere but China.

We have implored the chairman of the ASEAN bloc of nations that you need to come together as a bloc of nations to resist the aggression of China.

China has made a systematic effort to divide ASEAN through cultivating certain leaders in countries like Cambodia to torpedo the organization from having unity.

If we do not challenge them, they are going to continue to grow, and they have got their eyes on the Arctic now.

I want to applaud the chairman for giving credit to this administration. I think--no, I hope that does not go--I hope it does go public for you, because I think it is a good thing, because it shows that we are focused on what is best for…

If you look deeper, you find predatory lending practices that have beholden other countries to give up strategic ports, land, and infrastructure.

China has no peer competitors along its immediate periphery to be concerned about and plenty of cash to advance its interests.

As a preeminent world leader, the United States is now engaged in a great power competition with China.

I appreciate the opportunity to address the mounting political and economic aggression by China.

China is building or planning to build over 700 coal-fired power plants around the world with one-fifth of these plants located in countries outside of China, making it virtually impossible for them to meet goals set in the Paris…

Maduro has to go. And I hope the first thing that legitimate President Guaido does is throws out all foreign military personnel out of his country.

We ought to use this to isolate the Russians and not let them frame this as a kind of Yankee imperialist thing.

I do believe the national security team saw the strategic implications of it in terms of the impact on Nicaragua and, also, Cuba.

I think this goes way beyond just Venezuela and Maduro. I think this is a rubicon moment where Russia cannot allow Maduro to fail.

We cannot afford for this not to--Maduro has to go.

We will continue to support democracies because we know it leads to better governance, rule of law, increased economies, better human rights.

We have to do a better job of directing this money.

Partners prefer to partner up with countries like us because we are a trusted partner with the rule of law.
