Kissinger died, and Chinese wave of mourning was set off on the simplified Internet, calling him "an old friend of the Chinese people."
The reason why he is called so is nothing more than that his secret visit to China in 1971 led to Nixon's visit to China in 1972, which thawed Sino-US relations, restored the 23-year hiatus of hostility and isolation, and laid the foundation for the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States in the future.
After leaving office, Kissinger became one of the two chairmen of the American-China Association in March 1987.
Since 1971, Kissinger has visited China more than 100 times and has maintained good relations with successive Chinese leaders. In July this year, the 100-year-old Kissinger visited China for the last time.
On October 24 this year, the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations held its annual awards dinner in New York, and the leaders of the two countries sent congratulatory letters to the dinner. Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was presented at the dinner in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the development of Sino-US relations.
"I have worked on U.S.-China relations for half of my life," he said in his acceptance speech, adding that peace and cooperation between the United States and China are vital and in the interests of both countries and the world.
In the face of the current complex international situation, Kissinger called on the United States to avoid excessive confrontation and Cold War mentality in its foreign policy, and stressed the importance of dialogue, cooperation, and balance.
If it can be seen from the above, Kissinger is really an "old friend of the Chinese people."
But the Zhihua faction is not necessarily a pro-China faction, just like many devil officers during the Anti-Japanese War were "Zhihua factions" who knew Chinese, spoke Chinese, and even knew Chinese history, but can you say that they were pro-China?
The enemy understands that your purpose is to defeat you and conquer you, not to help you!
ThisThe so-calledOld friendsHe has also made some extremely unfriendly and even dangerous remarks about China on many occasions
During the Cold War, the dialogue strategy of the United States, including Kissinger, was to unite with China to counterbalance the powerful Soviet Union. After twenty years of hard work, the Soviet Union was finally consumed.
But with the rise of China, Kissinger's attitude towards China underwent a major shift, from uniting China to containing China, just as he had done with the Soviet Union.
Times have changed, and China has now gone from being a partner of the United States during the Cold War to a "major competitor." In the eyes of the Americans, China's rise will inevitably challenge US hegemony, so it must be suppressed and contained with all its might.
Therefore, in his later years, Kissinger brought out his theory of "balance of power" and advocated "uniting Russia to resist China".
And at a certain St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, a reporter asked a reporter about his views on the Sino-US war. "The tiger is in the valley, everyone, and the smart monkey sits there and waits for everything to end," Putin said. "That is, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
If the top level of the United States really adopts Kissinger's diplomatic thinking and unites Russia to deal with China, then we are now facing much greater external pressure.
But the current United States is all stupid and decrepit, and their thinking is still stuck in the Cold War period, and they can't listen to Kissinger's words at all.
Why did Biden kill Russia?
Because Biden is an old politician who grew up during the Cold War, the Soviet Union left too deep memories of horror on their generation. After they came to power, they naturally would not maintain a friendly attitude towards Russia, the remnants of the Soviet Union, not to mention that Russia is not weak and can still threaten the United States.
At the same time, in order to control Europe and show NATO's presence, the United States must find an enemy and make Europe think that it can only be safe under the protection of the United States, and Russia should not give in.
This is why NATO continues to expand eastward, fanning the flames everywhere and inciting color revolutions in Ukraine, Georgia, Belarus and other countries around Russia. ** Zi couldn't bear it, and finally the Russian-Ukrainian war happened in 2022.
At this point, there is no room for maneuver in relations between Europe and the United States and Russia, and the two sides have torn their faces and gone into battle shirtless.
Kissinger was angry and scolded the United States**: Blindly sanctioning Russia is a very stupid diplomatic strategy, and forcing Russia to fall into the Chinese camp is not beneficial to the United States. ”
Indeed, the 10,000 sanctions imposed by Europe and the United States on Russia have forced Russia to turn to China, cede many interests to China, and be deeply bound to China, forming some form of Sino-Russian alliance to confront Europe and the United States.
As a result, Kissinger's diplomatic strategy of "uniting with Russia to resist China" was completely bankrupt.
Without Russia, it will be impossible for Europe and the United States to contain China.
After the "Chinese balloon flying over the United States" incident this year, Kissinger openly criticized China, saying that "China is a challenger to the current international order, and in order to maintain world order, it can use force against China when necessary." ”
Oops, you're going to use force against China, can you still call this a friend?
After the Cold War, the United States has become the only superpower, dominating the world, and no country can deserve to join forces with it and sit on an equal footing. On a global scale, he does whatever he wants, and the Mi Di fights whoever he wants, so Kissinger's theory of "balance of power" is considered by Western diplomatic circles to be outdated and ignored.
Kissinger is popular among Chinese, but in the United States he is disliked by both the left and the right.
The left says that he is "a stubborn Cold War remnant who has passed away," and the right says that he is "a cartilage traitor who betrayed American values has died today," and even believes that it was the rapprochement with China led by him that led to China's rise and become the main competitor of the United States today.
Kissinger famously said, enjoy:
america has no permanent friends or enemies, only interests."
The United States has no permanent friends or enemies, only interests. – Henry Kissinger.
Do people treat an old politician who defends the interests of the United States as a friend?
