China News Service, July 25. According to Bloomberg News, former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger reminded US President Biden not to engage in "endless confrontation" with China in an interview recently.
He also said European leaders had lost a sense of direction on the continent.
Kissinger noted that Biden should be careful not to let domestic politics interfere with "the importance of understanding that China will always be there."
He also said, "Biden and previous administrations have been too much influenced by the perception of China in the United States."
Today, on geopolitical issues, Kissinger said, "Nixon-style flexibility" is needed to help defuse conflicts between the United States and China, Russia and the rest of Europe, and more.
Furthermore, looking back on the performance of today's European leaders, from French President Emmanuel Macron to German Chancellor Scholz, Kissinger said he regretted that current "European leaders do not have the presence of former leaders such as Adenauer and Charles de Gaulle. The sense of direction and mission in their respective roles.”
