Kissinger: Confrontation with China will trigger a conflict without a winner

　　[Global Network Reporter Zhu Mengying] "Confrontation with China will lead to conflicts without winners." Former US Secretary of State Kissinger expressed this view in an interview with Swiss "New Zurich" recently.

　　According to the New Zurich News, in answering the question of how close Washington and Beijing are to the Cold War, Kissinger first stated that in the past year, especially in the last few months of the presidency of former U.S. President Trump, Tensions between China and the United States have escalated sharply.

　　In Kissinger's view, the Biden administration has realized that confrontation with China is neither in the interests of China and the United States, nor in the interests of the world.

"This (confrontation with China) will lead to a conflict without a winner, just like the First World War, the conflict will end with the exhaustion of both sides."

　　But at the same time, Kissinger mentioned a serious "domestic problem" in the United States: "American public opinion regards China as a permanent enemy. People in this country suspect that all bad things that happen in the United States are done in accordance with China's wishes. occurring".

　　The report mentioned that Kissinger also said that it will become more complicated for the Biden administration to find a way out of confrontation and formulate a more sustainable strategy.

　　Kissinger has recently spoken out on Sino-US relations many times.

He previously warned that the tension between China and the United States may lead to a full-scale conflict between the two major military technology giants, exponentially increasing the threat of humanity facing the end of the world.

When it comes to US policy toward China, Kissinger believes that a two-pronged approach must be taken: firm US principles and require China's respect; at the same time, it is necessary to maintain continuous dialogue and find areas of cooperation.

　　In November last year, Kissinger called on the incoming Biden administration at the Bloomberg New Economic Forum to take swift action to restore communication channels between the United States and China. He warned that "unless there is a basis for cooperative action (between China and the United States), otherwise The world will fall into a disaster comparable to the First World War."
