"If we are going to wait until China has a perfect human rights record and is a democracy and looks like America, we will never trade with China."

"What is Russia saying? They are saying the new Graham bill would be the equivalent of economic warfare."

"Sanctions are sort of the stick, and the question is, what is the carrot?"
