Kissinger's pragmatism and rationality are what US lacks most today: Global Times editorial
www.globaltimes.cn
Kissinger can transcend the shackles of values and domestic politics, proceed from the US' real national interests pragmatically and rationally, and promote bold and imaginative diplomacy, which is what the US lacks most today.

As is well known, Kissinger is first and foremost an American and a staunch defender of American interests, but has earned the respect of the Chinese people due to his wisdom, rationality, and profound insights. The world hopes to see more Americans like him, and the US will gain more respect as a result. On the occasion of Dr. Kissinger's centenary, we wish him good health, and we also hope that Washington, at this critical juncture in history, will reflect on the wisdom of this elder statesman.

China state media nooooo (it's an editorial of course but they should fire this person)

    Like, no shite that Chinese paper gonna write good about him. The dude told Nixon reach out to the PRC and drop the ROC, which caused the Sino Soviet split. He also not go full hawk on a Sino US cold war today, and tell the US to stop expand nato.
