John F. Kennedy
“The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word 'crisis.' One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger--but recognize the opportunity.”
― John F. Kennedy

Charles de Gaulle
“China is a big country, inhabited by many Chinese. ”
― Charles de Gaulle
