Recently, Kissinger died at his home in Connecticut at the age of 100. In the eyes of the Chinese, Kissinger seems to have wisdom in every word, and his visit to China on February 21, 1972, was a landmark moment in the normalization of relations between China and the United States. Since then, he has set foot on the land of China more than 100 times in his life, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is "an old friend of the Chinese people". Kissinger is known as the greatest secretary of state in U.S. history and the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973. In addition to promoting the normalization of relations with China, he was also a theoretician who promoted the détente with the Soviet Union, which now seems to be a matter of international diplomacy.
Today, we will systematically summarize the life of Kissinger, an old friend.
1. Devoted to the US empire, he has done dirty work all his life, which is a monument in the history of diplomacy. Kissinger was one of the most influential figures in American foreign policy in the 20th century. He served as Secretary of State and Adviser to Nixon and Ford, and had a profound impact on U.S. foreign policy. One of his most famous accomplishments was the normalization of relations between the United States and China, which is considered an important turning point during the Cold War.
Second, it is an old friend of China, of course, because of the realism that the interests of the two countries are related. Kissinger is a Chinese intellectual, and even more so, a wise man who looks at China rationally from the perspective of US interests. His book "On China" is worth reading by all netizens who pay attention to international attention, and the whole book is interpreted from the unique perspective of an outsider, and it can be said that there is no ideological point of view with colored glasses, and of course there is no pro-China component, in general, it is relatively objective, and the first thing we China must do if we want to surpass the United States is to objectively evaluate ourselves. He is a political figure, he has a kind heart, and he has made great contributions to Sino-US friendship.
3. He did his best, and before he died, he was still running for the diplomacy of the empire. Kissinger has passed away, and there are no descendants in the United States today, and no one can carry out "Great Diplomacy" or "On China" more reliably, so as to understand "World Order" rationally. Although there are many people in power in the United States who engage in diplomacy, they are all a group of politicians, and Kissinger is a politician, Kissinger's decision-making can be taken into account 40 years later, and the current American politicians can't take care of it in 4 months, if you think carefully about the performance of Biden ** before the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and when the US military withdrew from Afghanistan.
However, in his later years, Kissinger had to watch the empire he had worked so hard to build soar downhill and be beaten into **. In the past two years, Kissinger has bluntly pointed out the major differences and differences between the two major powers of China and the United States, and once again expressed his deep concern about the direction of Sino-US relations. However, for a long time in the United States, "anti-China is political correctness," and in the eyes of Republicans, hasn't Kissinger become China's "leading party"?Kissinger is selfish and has been busy all his life for the interests of the United States, which deserves the respect of all Americans. Now Americans do not pay attention to Kissinger, but choose to be irrational and torn, which can be regarded as one of his sorrows.
Fourth, achievements and controversies coexist. His achievements and influence cannot be ignored, while some of his decisions have sparked ongoing controversy and criticism. Some of Kissinger's decisions and positions have also sparked major controversy. In particular, his actions have been widely criticized for dealing with issues such as the Vietnam War, the coup d'état in Chile, and the crisis in East Timor. These decisions are often seen as a manifestation of realpolitik, at the expense of so-called human rights and moral considerations.
In general, no matter what Kissinger's starting point is in promoting friendship with China, he is an old friend of the Chinese people. From a diplomatic point of view, Kissinger represents almost a monument, and the decline of the United States may be related to the lack of such wise men in power. From the perspective of health preservation, the fact that he has been sober and full of wisdom at the age of 100 years shows how important it is to be good at rational thinking rather than emotional anger to a person's lifespan. May he go all the way, and the Chinese people will not forget such an old friend. List of high-quality authors
