with missile defense" if the Chinese government failed to curb North Korea's
nuclear program, a potential hint at how the former secretary of state
would act if elected president.
Clinton's remarks were revealed by WikiLeaks in a hack of the Clinton
campaign chairman's personal account. The emails include a document
excerpting Clinton's private speech transcripts, which she has refused to
release.
A section on China features several issues in which Clinton said she
confronted the Chinese while leading the U.S. State Department.
"We're going to ring China with missile defense. We're going to put more of
our fleet in the area," Clinton said in a 2013 speech. "So China, come on.
You either control them or we're going to have to defend against them."
"My counterpart sat up very straight and goes, 'Well, you can't do that,'"
she said. "And I said, 'Well, we have as much right to claim that as you do.
I mean, you claim (the South China Sea) based on pottery shards from, you
know, some fishing vessel that ran aground in an atoll somewhere." |
