China Policy

Famous quotes containing the words china and/or policy:

“Consider the China pride and stagnant self-complacency of mankind.

It is the good Adam contemplating his own virtue.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The policy of dollar diplomacy is one that appeals alike to idealistic humanitarian sentiments, to dictates of sound policy, and strategy, and to legitimate commercial aims.”
