On the recordMay 24, 2000
I believe that more trade is more good than bad. I believe that more markets for agricultural products and for manufactured goods is more good than bad. And I believe that our economy, our workers, our farmers, our entrepreneurs can compete with the people in China. So I choose to be an optimist. This is really a one-sided agreement. China gives up everything. They give up access to their markets. They tear down the barriers and tariffs. And we get more access and opportunity in the process.
