people who leave positions of power famously lose all power and influence
look, obviously this is kinda cringe but China does shit that's a lot cringier than Xi meeting with Kissinger and dying on this hill is a pretty lib thing to do.
here's former Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff (former guerrilla fighter tortured under the military dictatorship in Brazil that was supported by Kissinger) meeting with Kissinger, she praised him after the meeting. foreign policy and diplomacy is walking on egg shells, especially when you try to please everyone as China had been doing up until recently.
