One of the things that we need to do coming out of this extraordinary economic crisis that we've seen over the past year is to move beyond this imbalanced bubble-based economic model toward one that is sustainable. And that means us selling more exports into China; it means us being more responsible in terms of our savings rate; it means China building on the growing consumer demand in their country. If both countries recognize their interest in a more sustainable growth model, then I think we will both benefit and the world in general will see greater stability.

-- US Pres. Barack Obama, interviewed on Nov. 9, 2009 by Reuters.
