Kissinger meets China defence chief in pursuing closer ties
BEIJING – Former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger met Chinese Defence Minister Li Shangfu in Beijing on Tuesday, his first known visit to the capital city in four years.
“If history is of any guide, neither the US nor China can afford the price of treating each other as enemy,” Dr Kissinger was cited as saying. Dr Kissinger’s visit comes as Beijing manages diplomatic relations with the Biden administration, and tries to restore confidence among foreign firms deterred by escalating tensions. US climate envoy John Kerry is also in the Chinese capital this week, meeting top officials in a bid to restart environmental cooperation between the world’s two largest economies.
