Modern geopolitics requires “Nixonian flexibility” to help defuse conflicts between the United States and China, as well as Russia and the rest of Europe, according to former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger.
The man who helped re-establish US-China ties in the 1970s said President Joe Biden should be wary of letting domestic politics interfere with “the importance of understanding the permanence of China”.
“Biden and previous administrations have been too much influenced by the domestic aspects of the view of China,” said Kissinger, 99, in an interview on Tuesday in New York with Bloomberg News editor-in-chief John Micklethwait.
“It is, of course, important to prevent Chinese or any other country’s hegemony [but] that is not something that can be achieved by endless confrontations,” he said.
Kissinger has previously warned the increasingly adversarial relations between the US and China risk a global “catastrophe comparable to World War I”.
Former president Richard Nixon campaigned in the 1960s as a vehement anti-communist, yet surprised many of his supporters by deciding to engage Mao Zedong’s China and visit Beijing in 1972 on a trip that became a historic turning point for both nations.
Pressed on who would be the strongest negotiator with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Kissinger opted for France’s de Gaulle, then added “Nixon would be quite good”
>permanence of China There are tanks on the streets protecting the banks from people withdrawing their money. It doesn't seem very stable to me
Brayden Adams
Kissinger can fuck off. He's just afraid of his legacy being repudiated if we end up at war with China.

The Biden administration is under the sway of some insanely radical elements. It may not seem like it, but they're so far out from how a normal American presidency would respond to this shit, the president might as well be Hillary Clinton. In fact, this is almost exactly the kind of response an H. Clinton administration would have pushed, which is why even Democrats hated her.
oh the guy that handed the U.S. manufacturing to China doesn't want to rock the boat for the chinks...fuck this guy. he should have been hanged for treason decades ago.
Mason Russell
Oh now he's worried about China? Lol Lmao We shouldn't have fed a communist country to begin with and now that their all fattened up he's worried about them. What an absolute retard. Paton was right. We should have done a preemptive nuclear strike on all communist countries. Everything else is just pussy footing around waiting for the next big war.
The second quarter of the 20th century was stable because of the rise of China and the four way tie in power between China, Japan, the USSR and the USA. The decision to tank Japan and the USSR while sending manufacturing to China until they eclipsed US manufacturing by nearly 150% (USA factory gdp 5 trillion Chinese factory gdp 12 trillion, this is the only part of an economy that really matters) was not only baffling but it also seemed to achieve nothing other than completely weakening the USA. At the same time we sent our tech jobs to india and replaced retail workers with wagie deliveryslaves. What was the point of any of this? How did capitalism make us more efficient by destroying the incentive to work and effectively dooming capitalism as a credible system? The central planners have no answer but to say "trust this 100 year old jew who should have retired 30 years ago".
>president might as well be Hillary Clinton. It’s her who is in charge, that’s why Russia-Ukraine war started, she wants WWIII because she lost to Trump.

>that's not stability

Due to his flexibility China turned from a commie dictatorship threatening US allies into a more dangerous commie dictatorship threatening US allies. So the solution is to make them even more dangerous?
