Last month, Kissinger, who was 100 years old, arrived in China for a 14 -hour aircraft for access.In his journey for more than a hundred visit to China, it was not special to receive Chinese leaders' visits, but at the moment when Sino -US relations are becoming increasingly tense, this visit is of great significance.

As an important participant and promoter of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States in the 1970s, Kissinger represents communication, courage and vision.Looking at the moment, is there a politician who can advocate cooperation with China under a special political atmosphere in the United States?

Kissinger's energy in China is well known.In the United States, Kissinger is regarded as the most authoritative "China Connect" in the United States. From the President of the United States, to the supervisor of private business, he has all told Kissinger how to better deal with China.

Kissinger, who has been in the twilight years, cannot continue to visit China to play the role of communication bridge.It is not easy to find a high -level politician in China.Even such politicians can be difficult to cooperate with China.The next thing similar to Kissinger appeared between China and the United States, but this was not happened overnight.

In today's political environment in China and the United States, instead of looking forward to the next Kissinger, you might as well ask if there is the next Nixon.

Kissinger was able to play a role in the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States that year, and was still authorized by the US president at that time.It was the changes in the contrast of the United States and the comparison of world political forces in 1969 that Nixon was elected in 1969 and China's improving relations. Only in 1971, Kissinger secretly visited China.Before Kissinger's secret visit to China, in 1970, Nixon invited Pakistani, then President Ye Haya Khan, to tell the Chinese government to prepare to improve the relationship between the two countries.Kissinger has created history. It is better to say that in the historical process of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and the United States, Nixon chose Kissinger.

Who will be the next American leader who has a long -term judgment of Sino -US relations?

Will it be Biden?Obviously not.On the one hand, it was sent to visit China, such as Secretary of State, Minister of Finance, and Climate Issues.Biden has played a level of political elites in curbing China.But as an 80 -year -old man, he has more than enough.It is difficult to find the characters in the formula format, the fundamental reason is that the general trend of "harmony" in China and the United States is no longer.

Will the Republican Party most hope to defeat Trump of Biden?Regardless of whether Trump's lawsuit can win in the 2024 election, even if Trump returned to the White House, he could not be the next Nixon.Trump's political style is more casual, and his attitude towards China is full of emotion.

In the history of Sino -US relations, Kissinger's appearance is not inevitable.In the past 50 years, such a person has played a bridge between China and the United States, which has been determined by Sino -US relations in a historical period that can be communicated and cooperative.At that time, the historical background of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States was the game of the United States and the Soviet Union. The deterioration of the deterioration of the relationship between China and the Soviet Union as a socialist camp caused interest in the United States.

The main axis of world politics at that time was the United States and Soviet.Nowadays, the contradictions between China and the United States have become the main contradictions in the world, and the general trend of "harmony" in China and the United States is getting farther and farther, and "fighting" has become the mainstream.In the future, Sino -US relations will not be able to send another Kindin -style character, or Nixon -style politicians.

Even if there is another well -known Zhihua school in the United States, his role will not play Kissinger in the past 50 years.Believe that the new era will always create new heroes.Missing Kissinger is essentially nostalgic for cooperation and nostalgia for honeymoon.And a era has ended, we must be brave to embrace the unknown new era of constant conflict.
