Kissinger has two new moves! The first thing that both China and the United States should study well is -- the second thing is --

Uncle Wood's international review analyzes our old friend Kissinger.

The 98-year-old Kissinger has recently become the focus of Chinese and foreign media attention, and he has two new trends. One was that he remotely attended a China forum held in Shanghai and expressed expectations for Sino-US relations. The other is a book by American scholars devoted to Kissinger's diplomacy and the lessons it has taught to the current U.S. administration.

These two events happened almost at the same time, which is equivalent to two news about Kissinger, so Uncle Mu can analyze it comprehensively to communicate with everyone.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="25" > the first thing is-</h1>

On October 24, Kissinger mentioned U.S.-China relations at a forum in Shanghai.

This is the fourth discussion on topics related to China and Sino-US relations that Kissinger has participated in in the past three months, which shows that although he is 98 years old, he is not old and still speaks out for the normal track of Sino-US relations.

Uncle Mu believes that what is more noteworthy this time is that Kissinger mentioned two points:

1) Kissinger believes that there is competition between China and the United States, and it is necessary to seek cooperation in the competition.

This attitude is actually similar to that of the US government, except that he does not define competition as an important part of the Sino-US relationship, but only that competition between the two countries is inevitable in some areas.

Of course, competition is not the goal, competition also requires cooperation, which is kissinger's original intention. In his view, China and the United States have common interests in many aspects, so we hope to reach more consensus in the future and continue to promote cooperation at many levels.

Kissinger mentioned the importance of cooperation on the epidemic and climate change, believing that this is also the greatest common denominator that he believes china and the United States can seek cooperation.

2) Kissinger was opposed to nationalism.

He stressed that the world of the future should be one of inclusiveness and avoidance of conflict, and that if there were problems with national policies, the world would become a nationalist arena. In this way, issues such as pandemics and climate change will become very difficult and harm the interests of all humankind.

So Kissinger warned countries not to look after their own interests, but to treat each other as equals. That's why he hopes that "world leaders will first fulfill their fundamental responsibilities to their own peoples, while connecting peoples around the globe with common connections." ”

This reflects Kissinger's universalist spirit.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" > the second thing is-</h1>

This October, a book by Martin, a fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, "The Master of the Game: Henry Kissinger and the Art of Diplomacy in the Middle East, was published.

There are many references to Kissinger's diplomatic style and policies over the past few decades, and there should be much to learn from the Biden administration.

For Kissinger, for example, peacemaking diplomacy is a process designed to de-escalate conflicts between competing powers, not to resolve them. Kissinger feared that the pursuit of peace was merely an idealism, and that he was a realist, which would jeopardize his order and the stability that came with it.

In other words, the peace Kissinger sought was a process, not a solution. His diplomacy over the past few decades has been familiar with the desire for peace, with the result of a desire for a more reliable and stable order in highly volatile parts of the world.

In Uncle Mu's view, although Kissinger is a Republican and a conservative, he can play an important role in the global order, especially in Sino-US relations, and the US Biden administration as a Democratic Party has no reason to be aggressive on Sino-US relations and international issues.

It can be seen that the two recent news about Kissinger, as well as Kissinger's statement, should be taken seriously by China and the United States, after all, he is a gamer, good at thinking, and has rich results. In particular, we should study more and study more.
