Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said that the United States and China must set limits to confrontation, otherwise the world will find itself in a situation similar to the First World War .A report by “Bloomberg” agency said that Kissinger believed that the United States and China, whose conflict could be called a “new cold war”, should demarcate the borders of the confrontation, stressing that without this, it is impossible to achieve a general de-escalation.
The former US Secretary of State said in this regard: “You can say that this matter is completely impossible. But if this is completely impossible, then we will find ourselves in a situation similar to the First World War.”
Kissinger believed that the conflict between Washington and Beijing was due to the emergence of new technologies that changed the geopolitical landscape. The former minister, nicknamed the Fox of American diplomacy, affirmed his conviction that the time has come for the United States to realize the changes in the modern world, matters he pointed out that they are very complex, so that no single country can continue to maintain its hegemony at the same time, whether in the economy or in Strategic field.
Kissinger had stated in 2019 that the conflict between the United States and China could lead to “dire consequences” that would be “worse than the consequences of world wars.” To avoid this, he advised the two countries to resolve their differences.
It is also noteworthy that Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi announced last July that Beijing would take firm and decisive measures against Washington if diplomatic relations between the two countries deteriorated.
