我們不能再犯過去幾年的相同錯誤。中國帶來的挑戰需要歐洲、非洲、南美洲、尤其是印度太平洋地區的民主政體付出努力與幹勁。如果我們現在不行動，中共終將侵害我們的自由，顛覆我們社會辛苦建立的、基於規則的秩序。如果我們現在屈服，我們的子孫可能就會任憑中共擺布，他們的行動正是當前自由世界的最大挑戰。
General Secretary Xi is not destined to tyrannize inside and outside of China forever, unless we allow it. Now, this isn’t about containment. Don’t buy that. It’s about a complex new challenge that we’ve never faced before. The USSR was closed off from the free world. Communist China is already within our borders. So we can’t face this challenge alone. The United Nations, NATO, the G7 countries, the G20, our combined economic, diplomatic, and military power is surely enough to meet this challenge if we direct it clearly and with great courage.
除非我們允許，中共總書記習近平不可能永遠都能在中國與海外施行暴政。這不是圍堵的問題，別信那一套。這是一項我們從未面對過的複雜新挑戰。蘇聯自絕於自由世界之外，共產中國卻已經融入我們的世界。所以，我們不能單獨面對。聯合國、北約、7大工業國（G7）、20國集團（G20），結合我們的經濟、外交、軍事力量，如果我們已無畏的勇氣明確加以運用，肯定足以應付這項挑戰。
Maybe it’s time for a new grouping of like-minded nations, a new alliance of democracies. We have the tools. I know we can do it. Now we need the will. To quote scripture, I ask is “our spirit willing but our flesh weak?”
