China is not in a position like the USSR to rail against western enemies, the only country that really can do that is the DPRK and thats because their position can't get worsened by it in any meaningful way just like the USSR.
Kissinger as well from a Chinese perspective has contributed a lot to put China in the advantageous position it is today, which has benefited the Chinese people immensely.
Its not black and white from a Chinese perspective, as it is from other perspectives.

This was in 2018 and also seems like Kissinger was a guest.
Twitter is twitter, and also I should specify that most of the dunks are from the perspective of China as an intra-system rival to the west where China is beating the west at its own game, rather than China as the outside communist threat trying to fuck with the whole system.
Its a pretty important nuance and until circumstances actually force china into an outside position its smartest to stay in this gray zone of not being simply another capitalist rival but also not being a threat dividing the world like the USSR.
