HONG KONG, Dec. 2 (UPI) -- Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger met with China's Xi Jinping on Friday, a visit Kissinger described as timely in a moment of political transition in the United States.
The meeting was held as President-elect Donald Trump took a phone call from Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen, an unprecedented move that could cause friction in U.S.-China relations.
On Friday, Xi told Kissinger, "The presidential election has taken place in the United States and we are now in the key moment. We, on the Chinese side, are watching the situation very closely. Now it is in the transition period," the South China Morning Post reported.

FOHK.
Libs having fit about call
China strongly objected, but in 2015 the Obama administration authorized a $1.83 billion weapons sale to Taiwan and made the first U.S. arms shipment to the island in four years.
It was primarily defensive weapons, the military package includes two U.S. Navy guided Oliver Hazard Perry class missile frigates, amphibious assault vehicles, and anti-aircraft and anti-ship systems.
And yet, Democrats are having a cow over a phone call. The rules are ALWAYS different for Democrats.
They know that, take advantage of it, and then either deny or downplay it. They are two faced slimes.
I didn’t realize he was part of our government. And who paid for his trip? Did he fly commercial?
I noticed that China explicitly blamed Taiwan.
Afraid of Trump?
keep him
FUHK!
FUHK!
we didn’t want you screwing up our foreign relations THEN and we definitely do NOT want you trying to screw us over NOW
GTH HK! its long long past time
Good information to know as the libtards go ballistic about this phone call. If Hannity or Tucker Carlson have not yet reported this hypocrisy, maybe you should email one of both of them.
He had his money making Consulting company.
Why is that old coot butting in? What office does he hold? For whom is he speaking? That sort of thing needs to be nipped in the bud.
“unprecedented” must by the DNC talking point for this Trump move.
FYDNC!
Yes, I agree, much of what Trump does may appear unprecedented. Things need to be done to turn this stinking worldwide lib mess around.
Anything Trump is to PO the libs is OK by me.
....Logan act....anyone....crickets.
“Henry Kissinger does not represent the US. He is just a private citizen, and what he says doesn’t mean jack shiite. “
Not a problem. If China and Kissinger want to engage in fake diplomacy with each other, then I say more power to them both!
Yes there used to be a law against that, not sure if it is just being ignored or has been changed. Random people do not need to be “soothing” feelings or otherwise trying to speak for this country.
The Bilderbergers are marshaling their forces.
But that doesn’t answer my questions.
I didn’t know he had a cabinet position.
Amazing some here don’t see the chess game that is going on. Kissinger and Trump are friends. Trump talks to Taiwan, and Kissinger simultaneously tells the Chinese “everything will be fine”. Its all designed to keep the ChiComs guessing. Relax. None of this is accidental.
Clever those Chinese - must always save face.
