"I think the outcome of the new relationship between ourselves and the billion people of China and their government is constructive and positive."

"I think we've benefited greatly, and I'm very proud of it."

"We have made it clear to the People's Republic that after this year, when the treaty does expire, this coming year, that we will sell to Taiwan defensive weapons."

"We would have to reassess them as they do occur."
