Henry Kissinger on CHINA..!

[jackovesk]

Kissinger reflects on how China's past illuminates its 21st-century trajectory, drawing on 40 years of intimate acquaintance with the country and its leaders. Drawing on his extensive personal experience with four generations of Chinese leaders, he brings to life towering figures such as Mao, Zhou Enlai, and Deng Xiaoping, revealing how their different visions have shaped China's modern destiny.

In On China, Henry Kissinger turns for the first time at book length to the country he has known intimately for decades and whose modern relations with the West he helped shape. Drawing on historical records as well as on his conversations with Chinese leaders over the past 40 years, Kissinger examines how China has approached diplomacy, strategy, and negotiation throughout its history and reflects on the consequences for the 21st-century world.

As Kissinger underscores, the unique conditions under which China developed continue to shape its policies and attitudes toward the outside world. For centuries, China rarely encountered other societies of comparable size and sophistication. China was the "Middle Kingdom", treating the peoples on its periphery as vassal states. At the same time, Chinese statesmen - facing threats of invasion from without and the contests of competing factions within - developed a canon of strategic thought that prized the virtues of subtlety, patience, and indirection over feats of martial prowess.

On China examines key episodes in Chinese foreign policy, from the earliest days through the 20th century, with a particular emphasis on the modern era. Kissinger illuminates the inner workings of Chinese diplomacy during such events as the initial encounters between China and modern European powers, the formation and breakdown of the Sino-Soviet alliance, the Korean War, the opening of relations with the United States, Richard Nixon's historic trip to Beijing, and three crises in the Taiwan Straits. the Tiananmen Square crackdown, and China's accession to the World Trade Organization.

With a final chapter on China's 21st-century world role, On China provides a sweeping historical perspective on Chinese foreign policy.

PS - Have'nt watched it yet, hence no comment...

But if I was a 'Betting Man' Kissinger would be stressing/urging the Chinese to side with the NWO..!

[Maia Gabrial]

Maybe the Chinese have had enough of communism and just don't want anything to do with the NWO. We can only hope that the Chinese will be the ones to help turn this world around since Benjamin Fulford tells us that there are many Chinese involved with the White Dragons.

[Tony]

China is buggered then!

[truth4me]

I don't trust Kissinger at all. As a matter of fact I don't trust any clones .........

[Maia Gabrial]

To add to Kissinger's time in China, on one of the other threads it was mentioned that the Rockefellers are headquartered in China.....goody. Should we be worried?

[58andfixed]

This is quite a different story that Heinrich spun at the Munk Debates in the same timeframe.

I discern a speaker with a forked tongue.

I discern there is very major concern about losing economic & financial leadership, that is currently in the process of transitioning.

........ the Rockefellers are headquartered in China.....

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ! That's the most ridiculous thing I've read in a long time !

[Lord Sidious]

Erm, what do you mean side with the nwo?
They are all in it, they just want to run it themselves.
There are various factions in this thing you know, it isn't just one huge monolith, any more than a poltical party is.
The various clashes you see are those factions jockeying for more power.

[ViralSpiral]

Have you taken the time to listen to this Jacko?
Although I don't know the man personally, I have never liked his persona or who/what he represents. Like a moth to to a flame though, I was intrigued to hear what he had to say.
These comments raised my eyebrows:


I must say, during the Vietnam war we did not, as a country, adequately analyze the impact, the relationship of China and Vietnam. The American administration believed that Vietnam was an extension of Chinese policy and that it was all part of a grand strategy in which Moscow, Beijing and Hanoi were working together. Nothing could have been further from the truth.......

I believe, at some point, there has to be an understanding between China and the United States and other countries on a north/east Asia arrangement into which North Korea fits, and of course South Korea has to be an integral part of it, so that the nuclear question can be solved without chaos in North Korea.

We have not found the right way to talk to the Chinese about it, nor have they found the right way to talk to us about it because there are too many inhibitions on both sides.

When a nation keeps borrowing in a profligate way, and heads itself for a demonstrable financial crisis then it means you're tying yourself to a potential threat. It isnt that they can use the money we owe them in a strategic way because we can then shut off their exports, and its a sort of a mutual suicide. But it does not enhance our capacity to convince them of the desirability of moving on a joint approach.

I agree with the administration. That the proliferation of nuclear weapons is one of the gravest dangers that the world faces.

When I talk to people in Washington they say: They are not being helpful to us....

From my knowledge of both governments, and having talked to both leaders the importance of what I've said is recognized.

[New Dawn]

........ the Rockefellers are headquartered in China.....

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ! That's the most ridiculous thing I've read in a long time !

Actually, if you quote Maia Gabrial in full, you'll find it says that Maia may have seen that written in another thread. Misleading quotes don't sit well with me.

And 'hahahahahahahaha' type comments - save that for other forums. We're not here to take the piss out of other members for contributing, are we?

[Marsila]

I dont have time to read this all, but I wont laugh at the suggestion that a lot of the big banking families are moving a lot of funds into China.

I wont' say headquartered as they are everywhere. If we just look at them as extreme left minded business people it will be much easier to understand them.

Its also a fact even the Rothschilds latest is to try and hit French wine production by producing it in China, such it is more viable for them. (i went to a China expo a while back, and saw some very familiar bottles for many products, asked the lady if they produce them for said company, and she goes "yes yes, we can even put made in France or wherever you want on the packaging" :confused:

As to why Kissinger is probably saying what he is....it is my understanding that the US helped China become what it is today as they don't trust the Russians until today. China fully understood this, and had its own plans to, in which they used the US and also found ways to get to the top....now the US would probably try to strengthen India even more such they and China have a history of warring together quite often, all in an attempt to keep the status quo as it is today.

All i see is giants fighting with each other secretly and trampling on the "little people" while they are at it.

[mosquito]

New Dawn - I'm fully aware of what Maia Gabriel said, so I wasn't laughing at him/her, I was laughing, yes truly I was laughing at that suggestion, not at the person who first made it on Avalon, nor at M.G.
Marsilla - I wasn't laughing at the suggestion that .. "a lot of the big banking families are moving a lot of funds into China". I' was laughing at the utterly preposterous suggestion that the Rockefellers are no headquatered in China, and not the USA.

Fair enough, sometimes the true intent of the message gets lost in text.

I know you're fully aware, but not all readers read all the posts, so they wouldn't be fully aware, would they! :)

[mosquito]

Yes, you're right there, and thinking about it, I probably shouldn't have written it the way I did, I temporarily forgot that the written word is not the same as the spoken and that we're not all sitting face to face. So I apologise if I caused any offence, it certainly wasn't meant. :o

CAUTION
In the minutes of a secret 1975 meeting of the National Security Council attended by President Ford reveal Henry Kissinger grumbling, "It is an act of insanity and national humiliation to have a law prohibiting the President from ordering assassination." - LOST CRUSADER: The Secret Wars of CIA Director William Colby, by John Prados, Oxford University Press, 2003

The February and March 2001 issues of Harper's Magazine feature a series by Christopher Hitchens on the case for charging Kissinger with War Crimes. Part I: The making of a war criminal Part 2 will feature an extensive section on East Timor.

Christopher Hitchens' Trial of Henry Kissinger: A Review By Mike McGlothlin ...

Hitchens presents a rather straightforward argument that establishes two seemingly undeniable propositions: on at least one occasion, Henry K. conspired to commit murder, and that on numerous other occasions, Henry K. was the primary force behind certain acts that could quite plausibly be considered war crimes. The case for Henry K. as murder conspirator is what Hitchens calls a "lay-down" case, i.e., one that stands out for its clear facts and clear law. The murder victim is General Rene Schneider, who was the Commander in Chief of the Chilean Army, whom Hitchens misidentifies as the Chilean "Chief of Staff."; According to Hitchens (and the 09 September, 1970 minutes of the "40" Committee, the Kissinger chaired secret panel that oversaw U.S. covert operations), the Chilean military had a strong tradition of neutrality in political affairs, a rarity on the South American continent. General Schneider was known as an officer committed to upholding the Chilean constitution and therefore opposed to the rumored incipient coup against newly elected Socialist President Salvador Allende by a right wing would-be junta of current and former Chilean military officers. Using U.S. Government communications cables from the CIA and documents from the State Department, and White House, Hitchens relates the facts of Kissinger's direct involvement in the direction, planning, financing, and general support by the organs of the U.S. Government in the plot to remove General Schneider.

Incredibly, Henry Kissinger—the man who rivals Pol Pot for the dubious honor of being the person responsible for the death of the largest number of innocent people in South East Asia (and far surpasses Pol Pot in criminality when one factors in Kissinger's various levels of responsibility for wholesale slaughter and repression in other parts of the world)—still wields significant power in the United States; but his role as eager facilitator of mass murder, totalitarian repression and other atrocities is never discussed in polite society.

Pol Pot And Kissinger On war criminality and impunity by Edward S. Herman

President Ford and Secretary of State Kissinger gave the go ahead to Suharto's invasion of East Timor and subsequent massive war crimes there, and the same Kissinger, who helped President Nixon engineer and then protect the Pinochet coup and regime of torture and murder, and directed the first phase of the holocaust in Cambodia (1969-75) ...

The time was September 11, 1973. The country was Chile. The event was the bloody overthrow of a democratic government. And the criminals were Henry Kissinger, Richard Nixon, The CIA, and Chilean Dictator Augusto Pinochet. Pepsico, ITT, and other large U.S. corporations were also guilty parties in these crimes against the State and against The People of Chile. The Pornography of Power

TOBY HARNDEN, TELEGRAPH, LONDON: Washington reacted furiously to a request by Chilean judges for Henry Kissinger, the former secretary of state, to answer questions about an American journalist killed during the 1973 coup in Chile. A Bush administration official condemned the Chilean supreme court decision to send questions to Dr Kissinger, saying the move increased unease about the proposed International Criminal Court in The Hague. The administration source said: "It is unjust and ridiculous that a distinguished servant of this country should be harassed by foreign courts in this way. The danger of the ICC is that, one day, US citizens might face arrest abroad and prosecution as a result of such politically motivated antics." . . . In its ruling, Chile's supreme court said a list of questions should be sent to the US supreme court with regard to Dr Kissinger's knowledge of the circumstances surrounding the death of Charles Horman, a journalist arrested by troops loyal to General Augusto Pinochet. His body was identified in a mortuary weeks later . . . The Chilean order came less than two months after French detectives delivered a court summons to Dr Kissinger, who was visiting Paris, asking him to testify about the disappearance of French nationals in Chile . . . In another case, a judge in Argentina has ordered Dr Kissinger to testify in a human-rights trial about a 1970s plan by South American governments to kidnap and kill Left-wing critics. [news/2001/08/01]

The US involvement in coup planning began even before Allende's election victory, under the code-name FUBELT, with action plans prepared for Kissinger's consideration. One group of officers working under CIA direction carried out the assassination of General Rene Schneider, a pro-Allende officer, in an unsuccessful attempt to spark a full-scale coup before Allende could take office.

According to the new book Kissinger, by Walter Isaacson, published in 1992 by Simon & Schuster, ASEA Brown Boveri (page 733) had a contract or project arrangement with Henry Kissinger’s money-making consulting firm, Kissinger Associates, in 1990. According to this fascinating book, Kissinger started his consultancy in July 1982 with “$350,000 lent to him by Goldman Sachs and a consortium of three other banks.” Some of the people Kissinger hired to work for him were Brent Scowcroft, former national security adviser, and Lawrence Eagleburger “who was lured aboard as president in June 1984 after serving as undersecretary of state”. Both Snowcroft and Eagleburger left Kissinger Associates in 1989 to join President Bush’s administration. Kent Associates is a subsidiary of Kissinger Associates. On pages 733-734 a list of some of Kissinger’s corporate clients include, aside from ABB: Shearson Lehman Hutton, Atlantic Richfield, Banca Nazionale del Lavora (BNL) “a Rome bank that made illegal loans to Iraq”; Fluor; Hunt Oil; Merck & Co.; Union Carbide.
