Max Baucus: “If we don't have a modern infrastructure, we will be a second class nation some day.”

I loved this job representing the United States in China. It is the best job I ever had.

They will not because the Chinese have a neuralgic fixation on the status quo and stability within China.

I think it's very unwise. Get ratchet up the rhetoric to a point we're getting too close to the tripping point where something disastrous might happen.

I did not ever hear anybody in China advocate the Americans should stick with agreements that you have to transfer technology.
