Kissinger brokered Nixon's visit to China, which paved the way for China opening to the world and its current wealth and status.
Honestly, tweets like this are why I stopped following ICE Must Be Destroyed- they make these very specious arguments. I understand why the Chinese like Kissinger and Nixon, and it's something we're allowed to disagree about. It really is that fucking simple- I understand where they're coming from, but I'm coming from a different perspective, and that's fine. For an anarchist who hates "authoritarian tankies," this person is always really keen to have everyone agree with every little ideological point, and they just love finding these little contradictions that don't actually mean anything.
I feel like you're missing historical context. Nixon and Kissinger's trip to China happened in 1972, at the tail end of the Vietnam War. China was aware of the terrorism the US committed in Vietnam and still chose to open diplomatic relations.

I know that. I don't mean to be rude, but I'm not sure what your point is or what you think I'm missing?
You didn't acknowledge it at all. Based off your comment, I assumed you didn't know it.
