When Henry Kissinger talks about China, Mitt Romney and President Obama ought to listen — and so should the rest of us.
Last Wednesday during a panel at the Woodrow Wilson Center, the
89-year-old former secretary of state used his unique
40-year-experience with Chinese leaders to give a tutorial on how to
handle the sensitive relations between Beijing and Washington.
Kissinger’s presentation went far beyond his criticism of Obama’s and Romney’s attacks on China’s economic practices.
He
gave a perceptive short history of Chinese leadership since the
Communist revolution, an evolution that few Americans appreciate.
