They are going to fail. China will fail at this because they fear freedom and liberties.

The deliberate attempt to diminish Tibetan culture and identity is very apparent.

If people are traveling--the Chinese are traveling here; Americans want to and should be traveling to Tibet--and we should have a consulate.

Freedom House's latest freedom index ranked Tibet second least free place on the planet, slightly better than Syria but less free than North Korea.

Thank you for all that, though, because I want to hear the rest of that, and you have got some great recommendations I think everybody should hear.

And the show must go on.

I urge my colleagues to cosponsor this important legislation as well.

I have always believed that if the United States stands for anything, we need to stand out loud and foursquare for human rights.

I would like to see it do double that amount.

We will not allow ourselves to be supplanted from the world stage.

They didn't do anything to build that sustainability, to help Thailand build--and that is a fundamental difference in how we engage in the world and how the Chinese engage in the world.

I would put our workers up against anyone else's workers, I would put the quality of our products up against the quality of products that, you know, China is making, and we will win.

By losing those markets, it doesn't mean those jobs are coming back here.

I wish them the best of luck, but it is not at our expense.

These words sound threatening toward America's interests, proposing China wants to supplant America's leadership and knock us off the world stage. This will not be tolerated.

The long trip, which began on November 3, is the longest trip to Asia by an American President in more than 25 years.

I have to give a shout out to Mr. Engel, the ranking member.

Good afternoon, and thank you to my colleagues on the subcommittee and the panel for coming together to discuss the future of U.S. economic engagement.

It may not be America going alone. And I actually think it won't be an America alone.

We have seen some promising signs that this administration will no longer put up with Pakistan's friendliness toward terror groups.

I hope Ambassador Wells, the acting head of both offices, will share her thoughts whether this will increase operational efficiencies.

Doing otherwise would create a vacuum filled instantly by terrorist threats, not just to the United States, but to the free world.

In announcing our new national strategy for the conflict, the President laid out an important truth that should have guided our policies all along, that despite the enormous cost, we can't leave without resolution.

Afghanistan and Pakistan continue to make up one of the United States' most complex foreign policy and security challenge.

We cannot secure Afghanistan's future and an effective relationship with Pakistan that roots out terrorism and empowers civil society without these efforts.
