Southeast Asia food uses many different types of spices which are quite new to me like the curry leaves which I saw at the Kreta Ayer wet market in Chinatown. With such spices used in cooking this usually imparts a strong aroma to Southeast Asian food which appeals to the senses.
Most of the food imported to Russia came from China.
But Australia faces additional regional and global challenges also crucial to our nation's future - climate change questions of energy and food security the rise of China and the rise of India. And we need a strong system of global and regional relationships and institutions to underpin stability.
China in the future is going to have even more nuclear capability than it has had in the past. I don't believe that they have anything to fear from the United States and I frankly don't believe they do fear the United States.
When I was very little we would get letters from China in Chinese and they' be censored. We were a very insular little family.
Our failure to properly deal with Germany and Japan early cost the world dearly later on. We dare not make the same mistake with China.
The rise of China as a new power is another great challenge for the US. Our failure to properly handle Germany and Japan earlier in the 20th century cost us and the world dearly. We must not make this same mistake with China.
The reason was the failure of both Japan and China to understand each other and the inability of America and the European powers to sympathize without prejudice with the peoples of East Asia.
I don't believe in the so-called Olympic spirit. I speak from personal experience. When China hosted the Games it failed to include the people. The event was constructed without regard for their joy.
Environmental disaster is the gravest threat to China's continued development. That's according to me but it is not some wacko view.
There's no longer any surprise in noting that China has grave environmental problems.
There are nuclear weapons in China Iran Korea and Pakistan. It wouldn't take much to send a couple of warheads off on this planet somewhere that would cause a lot of environmental damage then if you have got someone who wants to retaliate you have real problems.
If China is helping its domestic industries charge an artificially low price for solar panels and other environmental goods then China is violating international trade rules that it agreed to when it became a member of the World Trade Organization.
Because if you don't have a great workforce a great higher education system you're not going to have the next eBay the next AmGen the next you know Miasole and not only California but America is going to fall behind a whole new competitive context which is obviously China India and other countries.
Competitiveness is really what it costs you per man-hour to get you what you want. In other words there's an education level that plays into the mix and so if it's inexpensive to buy an hour of real good education in places like China versus the U.S. that factors in.
Well we lost a lot of our independence already. We are dependent on China for credit. We are dependent on Middle Eastern countries for energy supplies. And many Americans are dependent on the government for their income health care education of their children food stamps.
In its report the Cox Committee concludes that China is using stolen U.S. design information to speed up its deployment of a new nuclear missile force.
Everyone wants an iPhone but it would be impossible to design an iPhone in China because it's not a product it's an understanding of human nature.
China has legally purchased high performance computers advanced machine tools and semiconductor-manufacturing equipment from several American companies.
As I have said for many years throughout this land we're borrowing money from China to buy oil from the Persian Gulf to burn it in ways that destroy the future of human civilization. Every bit of that has to change.
The Chinese government wants me to say that for many centuries Tibet has been part of China. Even if I make that statement many people would just laugh. And my statement will not change past history. History is history.
A lot of people including business leaders think the future belongs to China. Globalization is not a zero-sum game but we need to hone our skills to stay in play.
But I believe in fair trade and I will tell you I have many many friends heading up corporations and people that do just business in China they say it's virtually impossible. It's very very hard to come into China. And yet we welcome them with open arms.
So we really need jobs now. We have to take jobs away from other countries because other countries are taking our jobs. There is practically not a country that does business with the United States that isn't making - let's call it a very big profit. I mean China is going to make $300 billion on us at least this year.
I like to have Chinese furniture in my home as a constant and painful reminder of how much has been destroyed in China. The contrast between the beauty of the past and the ugliness of the modern is nowhere sharper than in China.
It used to happen in villages and towns in China that they would have - I guess you'd call them beauty contests - where all of the women of a particular village or town would be seated behind these screens or curtains with only their feet showing.
America won the Cold War by protecting our strategic resources from the threat of foreign control. We must bring the same attitude to our trade relationship with China.
In the final analysis the incident is seen as originating from an emotional expression of the frustration and anger of the proud people of China who had been subject to ever increasing oppression from without and decadent corruption from within.
I like what I see now in China but I think the Japanese are a step ahead into craziness and weirdness. I go to galleries there that are the size of a New York elevator and every time I'm surprised by the amazing things I find. I really hope I'll be able to promote some of these artists to show their work in the West.
European investment in Texas alone exceeds all U.S. investment in China and Japan put together.
