BEIJING - The United States needs “Kissinger-style diplomatic wisdom” in its policies towards China, top Chinese diplomat Wang Yi told the former US state secretary in Beijing on Wednesday, as bilateral ties languished at historic lows.
Mr Kissinger served as US state secretary and national security adviser in the administrations of presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. “US policies towards China require Kissinger-style diplomatic wisdom and Nixon-style political courage,” China’s foreign ministry quoted Mr Wang as saying during the meeting.
Mr Wang told Mr Kissinger it would be “impossible” to try to reform China, and “even more impossible” to encircle and contain China.
