This man is responsible for many countries’ problems.
You mean genocides
He is responsible for Everyone's problems - literally
china considers him an old friend. He's not respected just in the west
Not true. Keeping Syria from going to war against Israel was no small feat.
On the globe, there is no such solution as a perfect solution, someone gets hurt while others life improved. That is why you have to look pros and cons of the man’s work. You can not just focus on problems created , but also the problems resolved.
Asking the guy who caused the problems about how to fix them. Genius.
Who better? All part of the plan haha. Seriously though, this guy has overstayed his welcome by about 50 years. I don't think he agrees with individual sovereignty and liberty, and has certainly benefited from the 50+ years of America's selloff.
Edit: oh, and we're a republic, not a democracy.
so that one can implement exactly the opposite of what he recommends

I agree he's a war criminal, nevertheless a decent expert of geo-politics analysis and advisor for US government at the midst of Cold War, although his biggest failure is the untenable entanglement of US intervention in Vietnam.
So does every single US president, so what
Some perspective here on how long Henry Kissinger has lived: he’s old enough to remember the 1929 stock market crash. He’s lived during the time of 18 US Presidents. And if they where still alive…Eddie Van Halen would be 32 years younger than Kissinger, Johnny Cash would be 9 years younger than Kissinger, and Paul Newman would be 2 years younger than him

Which is impossible for Chinese
@@trulylastog2667 Only the Chinese are sincere.
Kissinger has the most perfect non-answer I’ve ever heard
I disagree. The question was incomplete. For all the things we disapprove of it could have been far worse had we not engaged China. He acknowledged the challenges and that they are unfortunate from our point of view. His perspective, which I agree with, is war with China, through technology, commerce or military, is unacceptable. It is in our interest to find ways to maintain a constructive relationship with China. This is essential for the survival of the United States, and the world. It does not mean all things will go well. Almost certainly there will be painful costs, such as Hong Kong. It remains to be seen of Taiwan can remain free. I suspect the US sees Taiwan as a strategic asset of the West because of its semiconductor abilities, so Taiwan can not be allowed to fall into China. Diplomacy is not getting everything you want, but getting as much as you can prioritizing your self interest. The other side has the same goals. Only by finding common ground and sidelining what is less important to self interest can you find some measure of success.
@@steverolfe2997 exactly the perfect definition of diplomacy
I thought his comments are very insightful. The observation that China is a "long historical evolution" is something everyone needs to understand about China. China is more or less a "living fossil" that is still thriving and will likely last indefinitely (at least in our lifetime) and there must be peaceful coexistence.
if you realy watch the video... i think you don't know how international relations works..
@@wingedhussars5576 Indeed, and Henry Kissinger himself might also be described as a "living fossil" in the sense that it is clear from this video he steadfastly adheres to his long-held principles of Realpolitik and détente. Except for his age, he has not changed in at least fifty years. This comment is only an observation, and neither a criticism nor support of Kissinger's view.

It's funny that *The Economist* would defend America's "rules-based order." Is this the same rules-based order where the United States has waged war against Afghanistan, El Salvador, Grenada, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Panama, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, etc. over the past half century?
Is this the rules-based order where the Iraq Wars (yes, both of them) caused millions of Iraqi deaths? Such carnage!
China does not subscribe to such a rules-based order. Instead, it prefers a multipolar world order where America, China, and Russia cooperate in peace without war. China is taking a massive step in that direction with the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) which aims to unify the world economically by building a globe-spanning economic network.
Let's remember that China has not fought a single war over the past 42 years. No other world power in history has had such a long, unbroken period of peace.

The association of 'communism' to 'China' may exist much more in Western media than in the mind of a Chinese, maybe any of them.

I am really happy that Kissinger stated that China and the United States need agree to avoid a high tech war and to use restraint in both the United States relations as well as the rest of the worlds relations with China. He also feels that Biden has a very competent team negotiating with China and that he began his Presidency as a hawk on Chinese foreign policy in order to avoid giving Republicans an opportunity to label him as soft rather than tough on China. I was quite disgusted with Congress when it became apparent that the only real issue to receive wide spread support from both parties is getting tough with China. I really pray that his predictions are accurate and come to pass sooner than later.

- illegally abducting Meng Wanzhou with the unwitting assistance of Canada

His legacy is destroyed and hes now the Chamberlain to another genocidal despot being the genocidal communist party. His legacy may end up being that of the greatest chinese spy only to be followed by obama who purged the agents and assets in china during his administration. Blunders of international relations that have led to genocide is the legacy of kissinger and obama. He needs to admit he was wrong or hes another Chamberlain conceding to a weak evil shell state
He got a Nobel Peace Prize also. Approaching China as it will prove was a big miscalculation . It is a difference to deal with a huge totalitarian country that has long terms plans and a speculative market orientated world like USA.
I don't agree with him, but he is still sharp as a tack! Wow!
How can u not agree? His words ring bells of truth. Whats your view? How do u think should it be then if he's not correct? Whats your steps to solution?
From his and companies view, he did everything right. It's the fault of our System that this devil have until today so much power and influence.
Whether The Economist wants to admit it or not, US President Richard Nixon was the principal architect and main driving force behind the China policy that has been in existence for the past 49 years. Nixon had to overcome the strenuous objection of the State Department, the Foreign Policy Establishment (particularly George F. Kennan) and the Republican Establishment (Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan, William F. Buckley, et. al.) all of whom wanted to continue ignoring “Red” China and only recognize Taiwan as the “real” China. It took a tremendous amount of political heavy lifting to accomplish that policy shift and make it self sustaining and Nixon deserves the credit for that. It might surprise some that when Nixon first told Kissinger of his China plans in 1969, Kissinger was flummoxed and couldn’t believe him.
That is not to minimize Kissinger’s importance in executing the shift in China policy. Kissinger’s guile and skill were absolutely essential in pulling off this diplomatic legerdemain (and that is exactly what it was), but his efforts were by themselves insufficient to accomplish that task.
My point is this: Formulating and executing a successful China policy is extraordinarily difficult and requires great political skill and major risk taking. The Chinese were always cunning and worthy adversaries. Nixon and Kissinger had the political and diplomatic chops to do it. Joe Biden, Antony Blinkin, and Jake Sullivan do not.
Why is he afraid to leave the US?
Cause he may get a little.. you know... horrendous and painful death
i dunno, fear of prosecution?
The root of the problem is that the US is unwilling to recognize and accept the reality that China by its own merit and through the hard work of its dedicated and educated population will grow the economy to the point that it will eventually surpass the US economy. Even after it surpasses the US economy China will still continue to grow faster than the US. The significance of that is that the US share of the world's total GDP will continue to decrease which will certainly lead to the weakening of the financial muscle that the US has undeservedly enjoyed in the last 6, 7 decades. As the rest of the developing world continues to grow as well (also faster than the US) the US may find itself unable to weaponize the dollar in an effective way or apply effective economic sanctions. I am hoping that the US will accept the new reality and adjust to the new multilateral world as the US should still be a very prosperous and rich country at that point.
No just no, all their tech came from the West, all the capital and trade came from the West, pioneered by the gateways through HK. No just no. And if they don't know their place and the West close the tab they WILL collapse economically.
Agree that the USA economic percentage will go down.
Without a convertible currency? Unlikely.

Time to adjust to reality.

Oh yeah? When did Yuan become the reserve currency?! 😅😂🤣
Last time I checked rich Chinese still want to take money out of China and buy properties in Western countries for stability.
