John Foster Dulles: Address on U.S. Policy toward Communist China

( 1957 )
  • “If we seemed to waver and to compromise with communism in China, that would in turn weaken free Asia resistance to the Chinese Communist regime and assist international communism to score a great success in its program to encircle us.” - Address on U.S. Policy toward Communist China
  • “There is often an optical illusion which results from the fact that police states, suppressing differences, give an external appearance of hard permanency, whereas the democracies, with their opposition parties and often speaking through different and discordant voices, seem the unstable, pliable members of the world society.” - Address on U.S. Policy toward Communist China
