I am against portraying China as the demon of the global community. China has grasped more quickly than other countries what globalization means and what it demands. The country has learned how to use other people's innovations for itself. India, incidentally, is not far behind China in this respect. Both are not nations in the European sense, but rather cultural communities with enormous markets. The challenge of the future is to work out how to deal with that.

This country cannot afford to tear itself apart on a partisan basis on issues so vital to our national security.

We must learn to distinguish morality from moralizing.

I have always expressed respect for those people who make public declarations.

Many of the scientists have believed that their contribution to ending the nuclear race is not to let any new weapons to be developed.

While we should never give up our principles, we must also realize that we cannot maintain our principles unless we survive.

A little uncertainty is good for everyone.
