China's a strategic rival out to bury us. Compete hard or watch our edge slip away.
Treating everything as a zero-sum war just burns our own resources. We need to compete fiercely where it counts, like tech, but keep the door open when it benefits us.
Cooperation without contest breeds complacency. True progress comes from relentless competition that drives invention and the harnessing of nature's forces.
Cooperation can lift us, but we must not sell our dignity for comfort. Stand strong, defend our people, and build fair ties that lift all.
Selective competition is weakness in a contest of empires. If we fear losing our edge, we rally, strike hard, and take the field fully armed.
