This article would have been a lot more comprehensive if it disclosed the amount of money Kissinger has received from Chinese government front companies and think tanks over the last few years.

I think the guy is out to lunch!!

[mlo]

He didn't say it wasn't a communist country. He said it wasn't communist "in the sense of Soviet communism". As far as that goes, he is probably right.

Of course they are also a bunch of dictatorial thugs, and our enemy, but lets not accuse K of saying something he didn't say.

[Praxeologue]

Kissinger could give the French, the all-time masters, a few lessons in sucking up.

[RLK]

Kissinger has never had serious reservations about socialism/communism. This is part of his fashionable intellectual credentials.

Of course China is not a communist country! It is fascist!

A fascist regime is one that combines elements of communism and capitalism, utilizing heavy government regulation of private industry to benefit the elite, hand picked corporate entities.

In the case of Musolini, nationalism was used to replace the class struggle, outlined in Marxism. China uses much the same principle, taking it a step further to actual gov't partnership in the private industry.

Re,"..."It has institutions that we consider different and in many ways incompatible with our notions of domestic institutions...."

Notions? NOTIONS? How about values, beliefs, etc?

[RightWhale]

I don't think China is a communist country in the sense of Soviet communism

Of course not. China is a pragmatic Marxist state.

ROTHLOL

They are 'Klint-tons'?

They are surely NOT a Dictatorship!

They feel your pain!

Kissinger was a Clymer 30 years ago, nothing has changed.

[Tallguy]

Kissinger is making a highly technical point about China's form of government that is irrelevant to the issues at hand. Congrats Henry, you haven't lost your touch!

[chainsaw]

But it also clear, that the China 10 years from now, after the huge changes which it has already undergone will be far different from the China of today."

Shall we say the center of the One World Government, to Clinton dismay. Henry K should go back to Germany where he belongs.

[Madame Dufarge]

History did not say that there will be only one superpower forever in the world

Well, isn't Henry lucky that he latched onto the superpower's coattails long enough to cement his moneymaking contacts?

Coming to your neighborhood soon: The Grifters, starring Bill Clinton and Henry Kissinger.

I never did care much for H.Kissinger.
No sir, never did....

[Kaslin]

I have come to the conclusion that if somebody says I think, or I don't think, that they know absolutely nothing, nada, zero, zilch.

History did not say that there will be only one superpower forever in the world.

People who refer to the future as “history” are always full of sh!t as well.

"Kissinger Says China Not a Communist Country."

Did he use any voice inflection, or was he dead pan monotone, as usual?
