Huntsman gives commencement address at Southern New Hampshire Univ

Former Utah Governor Jon Hunstman gave the commencement address yesterday at Southern New Hampshire University yesterday, which National Review Online's Corner blog covered:

Huntsman, who stepped down as U.S. ambassador to China at the end of April, emphasized his foreign policy experience. In contrast to Donald Trump, who sought to capitalize on the nation's growing unease over China’s economic surge by proposing a trade war during his brief, bombastic flirtation with the presidency, Huntsman argued that America's international future was vibrant.

"You hear how the Chinese economy is going to swamp us," Huntsman said. "Don't believe it."

"There is a reason that Google was started in America and not Russia or Germany or China," he added.

Instead, Huntsman contended that Americans underestimate the nation's enduring strength — and the inspiration it serves as to many across the world.
