Kissinger, a great figure in American history, was precisely because of his mediation that he finally reached the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, thus changing the world pattern. Kissinger was a famous American politician and an old friend of Chinese. On October 23, the nearly 100-year-old veteran politician accepted the invitation of the Third Bund Financial Summit and held a dialogue with Qian Yingyi, dean of the Shanghai New Finance Research Institute and professor of the Department of Economics of the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University, through videoconference, "pointing out the country" to the general trend of the world today, and his "three views" pointed out the direction for the future world pattern.
Kissinger's first point is that hegemony cannot be achieved by any country in the world today. Kissinger's view, although it is not named, is certainly not China. The country in the world today that is condemned as "hegemonic" is none other than the United States. So Kissinger is reminding the U.S. government of his goodwill in the presence of Chinese. After all, he is an American, and it is impossible to scold the United States, but it is only possible to remind the United States. In the past, the United States did many "hegemonic" things and launched many wars. Sometimes in the name of the United Nations, sometimes in the bypass of the United Nations. The United States is still very willful, and if it wants to "add a group," it will "add a group," and if it wants to "withdraw from the group," it will "withdraw from the group," and it will regard international organizations as playthings. In particular, former President Trump put forward the slogan of "America First", and even "allies" could not look at it. The so-called bystander Qing, Kissinger, as an old-time politician, has a clear view of the performance of the United States, and through analysis, he has come to the conclusion that "it is impossible for any country in the world today to achieve hegemony." This is also a response to the "level" of the United States between China and Russia, and Kissinger estimates that China can now be on an equal footing with the United States.
Kissinger's second view is that China and the United States should coexist based on the concept of equality through cooperation. How China and the United States should get along is an issue of particular concern to the Chinese and American peoples, especially the Chinese people. Secretary of State Blinken of the current administration has given the "three-point method" method of getting along, that is, "competition when it is time to compete, cooperation when it can be cooperated, and confrontation when it must be confrontational", but this "three-point method" China does not recognize, so there is a story of "two lists and three red lines" given by China to the United States. Kissinger does not agree with the current US administration's China policy, so he put forward the hope that China and the United States should "fully recognize the common rights of both sides in many fields through cooperation and based on the concept of equality." Kissinger's view is much more advanced than the "rule of three", which is easier for Chinese to accept and is in line with the common interests of the Chinese and American peoples.
Kissinger's third view is that countries around the world "create institutions in many areas to prevent relevant miscalculations and avoid conflict." The elderly Kissinger talks like a pacifist, quite a bit like the concept of a "community with a shared future for mankind". Kissinger proposed a theory, "Do countries only need to care about their own national interests, or do they need to recognize that today's world is interconnected?" ”。 If it were the former, the world would "become an arena of nationalism, and it would be much more difficult to prevent miscalculations and avoid conflict." Kissinger obviously hopes that all countries in the world can realize that the world is "interconnected", and the characteristic of the "interconnected world" is that in many fields, mankind is a "community of destiny". For example, the issue of epidemic prevention, such as the issue of climate change, and so on. In order to prevent misjudgments among countries and conflicts between countries, it is necessary to establish an effective preventive mechanism and related institutions. The current United Nations mechanism clearly cannot do that.
In which way the future world will develop in the interest of mankind, I think Kissinger is very reasonable. On October 24, former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien said in an interview with local media that the Canadian government must face up to the reality that China has become a world-class power. Judging from Kissinger's interviewed conversation, he also agreed that China has developed into a world-class power, which is why he put forward the above three views.
