And the consequences of a breakdown would be catastrophic.” The veteran diplomat urged the U.S. to understand that not every issue has “final solutions” and warned “if we don’t get to an understanding with China on that point, then we will be in a pre-World War One-type situation in which there are perennial conflicts that get solved on an immediate basis but one of them gets out of control at some point.” [link to www.zerohedge.com (secure)] Anon Braveheart |

(OP) User ID: 80227860 United States 04/09/2021 11:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Now, while there are celebrations to commemorate the 50-year anniversary of that monumental event, the U.S. and China still have high tensions. They range from trade deals to human rights issues to China's origin of the deadly COVID-19 coronavirus. As once there was a time sports helped two countries break down a barrier, some American politicians are now calling for the U.S. and other western countries to boycott the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. In a transcript from a tape between Nixon and his secretary of state, Henry Kissinger, on April 13, 1971, Nixon said he had long-term plans for dealing with China, but wanted to be sly and not look as if he were exploiting the occasion. "I deal with the China things for long-range reasons—very, very important reasons. Now, that brings us to the present thing: Ping-Pong. It's very important now—we're going to have another announcement tomorrow, which you should fill John in on—it's very important now that we, while we want to get every dividend we can on this, that we not appear to exploit it," Nixon said.

(OP) User ID: 80227860 United States 04/09/2021 11:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why US and China’s push to set up rival power blocs are likely to fail: As veteran US diplomat Henry Kissinger notes, the US recognised China’s immense potential as a partner in a stable and prosperous international order. Thus, over the next half-century, both Republican and Democratic administrations carefully nurtured deeper economic engagement with the Asian powerhouse and avoided direct confrontation. This engagement strategy reached its zenith during the Clinton administration, which facilitated Chinese membership into the World Trade Organization to create a more liberal, open and friendly China. As president Bill Clinton put it, integrating China into the world economy is “in our larger national interest”, since it “represents the most significant opportunity that we have had to create positive change in China”.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 80227260 United States 04/10/2021 12:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Henry Kissinger is the antithesis of Adolph Hitler. Polar opposite. Adolph Hitler was opposing PRECISELY what Kissinger represents. If you oppose evil, are you evil yourself? How is that possible? The same people who have promoted Kissinger as a great statesman , diplomat, and peacemaker have systematically vilified Hitler, and continue to do so 70 years later. I wonder why? |
