The United States has been the global superpower my whole life. We don't want to change that. America is a great global leader. We don't want China to be the global leader. No, nobody would win by that in the United States. But Chinese citizens wouldn't win by that either. We want those jobs, that innovation, these new job opportunities and rising wages right here in the United States of America. (08:17–08:21)
