Excerpts from Opening Remarks as Delivered:
“China cheats. They steal. They manipulate currency. They steal IP. They send spy balloons to collect data from military installations. They collect data on our children. They are our biggest adversarial threat. And they are the worst human rights violators and yet we work so hard to try to have this reciprocal trade partnership.”
“We hold a different standard for China than we do Cuba and other countries. We can be indignant about these things that you care about, and I care about when it’s another country that has a small market. But it’s a big market.”
