1. Well, I was offered that by President Ford, but I just had a feeling… I didn’t know that much about China, but I had the feeling China was the future.
2. I mean, a huge country. I know it was enclosed but I just felt that things would change. That’d be wonderful to get to know as best I could.
3. I couldn’t get to do it very well, cuz I was kept… pretty confined when I was the Chief of the Liaison Office. But… I was right. I bet on the future. I bet that China was gonna emerge, strong.
4. I never predict it to be as powerful and as significant a member in the international community as it is. But I think I was right. I know for me, personally, it was the right thing to do.
福特總統(tǒng)的確給了我那些機(jī)會(huì)，但我有種感覺，盡管我對(duì)中國(guó)了解的并不多，但是我覺得中國(guó)就是未來(lái)。
一個(gè)疆域遼闊的國(guó)家。我知道中國(guó)當(dāng)時(shí)很封閉，但我覺得事物會(huì)發(fā)生變化，如果我能盡可能去了解它的話，那將太好了。
但是我沒辦法做到，因?yàn)楫?dāng)時(shí)我是聯(lián)絡(luò)處的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，很受限制。但是….我是正確的。我對(duì)未來(lái)進(jìn)行打賭，我打賭中國(guó)一定會(huì)崛起，變得強(qiáng)大起來(lái)。
我沒有預(yù)料到中國(guó)會(huì)成為國(guó)際社會(huì)一個(gè)至關(guān)重要的成員。但我覺得我是對(duì)的。對(duì)我個(gè)人來(lái)說(shuō)，做這件事是正確的。
