Impossible to stop China, Jinping’s Wolf Warrior Diplomat bluntly to former US minister

Beijing’s top diplomat Wang Yi told Henry Kissinger on Wednesday that it was impossible to contain or contain China. He lauded the former US Secretary of State’s role in opening up ties between the two powers. Wang told the 100-year-old Kissinger at a meeting in Beijing that China’s development has a strong endogenous momentum and inevitable historical logic, and it is impossible to try to change China, and to contain and control China, according to a Foreign Ministry statement. Even more impossible to do.

Kissinger, then US National Security Advisor, secretly went to Beijing in July 1971 on a mission to establish relations with Communist China. That trip set the stage for a historic visit by President Richard Nixon, who sought to end the Cold War and help end the Vietnam War. Washington’s efforts to isolate Beijing have contributed to China becoming a manufacturing superpower and the world’s largest economy after the United States.

Since leaving office, Kissinger, a Nobel Peace Prize winner who has become wealthy by advising businesses in China, has warned against drastic changes in US policy. Appreciating the friendship China has established with the old friends, Wang on Wednesday praised Kissinger’s historic contribution to the thawing development of Sino-US relations.
