According to a report on the website of the Lianhe Zaobao of Singapore on July 19, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and director of the Central Foreign Affairs Office, when meeting with former Secretary of State Kissinger of the United States in Beijing, said that it is impossible to try to transform China, and even more impossible to encircle and contain China. The US policy towards China requires Kissinger style diplomatic wisdom and Nixon style political courage.
According to the official website of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Wang Yi met with Kissinger in Beijing on the 19th. Wang Yi said that the doctor has made historic contributions to the breaking development of China US relations and plays an irreplaceable role in enhancing mutual understanding between the two countries. "The Chinese side cherishes the friendship established with old friends."
According to the report, Wang Yi said that China's policy toward the United States maintains a high degree of continuity, and fundamentally follows the mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation proposed by President Xi Jinping. "These three are fundamental and long-term. It is the two China and the United States. The way for great powers to get along correctly".
Wang Yi stated that China's development has a strong endogenous driving force and an inevitable historical logic. "It is impossible to attempt to transform China, and it is even more impossible to contain and contain China. The United States' policy towards China requires Kissinger style diplomatic wisdom and Nixon style political courage.".
According to the report, Wang Yi expounded China's position on the Taiwan issue and reiterated that one China is the most fundamental status quo of the Taiwan issue, that "Taiwan independence" is incompatible with peace in the Taiwan Strait, and that the one China principle set out in the Shanghai Communique must be abided. If the US side sincerely hopes for stability in the Taiwan Strait, it should take actions to clearly and openly oppose "Taiwan independence" and draw a clear line from the separatist acts of "Taiwan independence.
According to a report on the German "China Platform" website on July 19th, in the 1970s, he played an important role in the normalization of US China relations - now, 100 year old Henry Kissinger unexpectedly visits Beijing in the tense atmosphere of bilateral relations. US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller stated that Washington is aware of Kissinger's visit to China. He also said that Kissinger's trip is a personal visit and does not represent the US government, but he may later inform US officials of the visit as he did in the past.
According to reports, Kissinger served as Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs and Secretary of State in the Nixon and Ford administrations, respectively. He met with Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu in Beijing on the 18th. Currently, the high-level defense dialogue between China and the United States is stalled, while military deployments in East Asia are accelerating.
According to the report, Kissinger told Li Shangfu, "The United States and China should eliminate misunderstandings, coexist peacefully, and avoid confrontation. History and practice have continuously proven that neither side can afford to treat the other as an opponent."
In a statement from the Chinese Ministry of National Defense, Li Shangfu said that the US should make the right strategic judgment. "Some people on the US side did not go against China, resulting in the US China relations hovering at the lowest point since the establishment of diplomatic relations.".
Li Shangfu stated that China has always been committed to building a stable, predictable, and constructive China US relationship, and hopes that the US will work together with China to promote the healthy and stable development of the military relations between the two countries.
According to reports, Kissinger has repeatedly warned that the conflict between the United States and China will bring "catastrophic" consequences. This centenarian claimed to be a "friend of China" during his meeting with Li Shangfu, a term that many people in China still recognize.
52 years ago, in July 1971, Kissinger set out to secretly visit Beijing, paving the way for the normalization of US China relations.
