James Rubin Actions Quotations

These actions taken as a whole are contrary to the direction that China has been urged to take by the world,

We have no illusions about China's desire to acquire sensitive information and technology for military uses by many different means. It is absolutely not true that we downplayed any evidence of this. We took the issue seriously, as our actions demonstrate.

We will react swiftly and firmly to any statements or actions suggesting sympathy with Nazi-era policies, or that express racism, xenophobia or anti-Semitism.

We have urged both sides to exercise restraint and to avoid inflammatory actions that would heighten tensions and fuel a missile arms race. Missile tests would not be helpful to efforts to reduce tensions and build confidence through dialogue in South Asia.
