Idk what people expected, Kissinger is legit seen as a figure that positively impacted the trajectory of modern China by being important in the restoring of diplomatic relations with the US and the West and the opening up of China to the global economy and acceptance to global institutions. If they uphold the policy decisions they made domesticaly and abroad in the late mao and Deng era ,and they do, then they will still be formal and cordial to a figurehead like Kissinger that was central to a lot of these shifts and developments. Mao or no Mao, Revisionism or no Revisionism china would have made such a statement for Kissinger either way. Sucks but thats how china is where it is now and thats part of its history. Mao himself was cracking jokes and hanging out with Kissinger while the latter already had the blood of millions on his hands. This position (at least in their mind) has little to do with how commited in socialism or communist anyone in the prc is
I don’t know why people feel the need to write up a whole essay on why China likes Kissinger every time this stuff is posted. Everyone knows why. It doesn’t mean people aren’t going to find it lame.
everyone does not know why .A lot arent that online to have seen the discourse come up before or that informed about some specific period in modern chinese history. Its worth pointing it out since its a pretty weird relation even if its stating the obvious for most. And did say it sucks so idk why you think i disagree with people finding it lame
there are still ignorant rubes out here learning
(it's me - the rubes are me)
There's no way to know what other people know and there's no way for other people to know what we know so we have to let other people know what we know and other people have to let us know what they know, y'know?
Show
wouldnt be surprised if vietnam made a similar statement tbh
kissinger was very materialist in his thinking and cut through ideology. he cared about one thing, and that was bringing profit and power to america. sometimes that means knowing when to cut your losses
I expected China to understand with massive hindsight what q piece of genocidal goulish shit stain
was. What his nature was. What he stood for and how China was played by him while 
was bombing and ratfucking their direct neightbors.This political capital move will not change anything of the momentum towarda increased military hostility towards China.
At what cost did it take? And they are being forced into an arms race and another Cold War against America in the end anyways.
here i was wondering when it would get updated and i missed that it's already been updated!
This makes me wonder if China was involved in financing
global wars.
show some respect
