" There are tons of examples of U.K. and European mistakes. A classic one is pensions. That’s obviously not an America-specific thing.

" China is attempting the death-defying feat, which no one has attempted in the history of the world, which is to move a billion people out of poverty. When I speak to Chinese policy-makers, the thing that annoys them the most about Western policy-makers is that they’re not given any credit for anything. " - Dambisa Moyo

" I would say issues around human rights – either you’re going to take a hard stance, or you’re not. You can’t borrow money from China the way the U.S. has done and then turn around and say, ‘But you’ve got a human-rights problem.’ You can’t be half pregnant. " - Dambisa Moyo
