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.

“The one we see or the one we don’t.”

The unelected permanent government.

Kissinger does not represent the U.S. and he would be committing a crime to do so.

a very dangerous old man....and decades past his shelf life, too

I am praying that DJT never employs or involves Kissinger or Brezinski in our new government. Not even for bathroom janitor.

Well, maybe that would be ok...

There are old men in China that respect Kissinger.He will announce to them there will be an emissary from Trump that can be trusted as well.

There will be no wasted time establishing new relations with China. To China it means they are of primary importance in the new diplomacy of the Trump administration. The development, the evolution, of the relationship will take time and effort. China is being shown that she is first on the list of Trump diplomacy, not as a threat but as good diplomacy

China is very important, we agree.
Far far too important to let Kissinger have ANY involvement with, imho.
He is NOT TO BE TRUSTED!!!!!

The Chinese know this, of course, but still... we voted for DJT to CLEAN HOUSE, not bring back the worst of the past century

just saying.... you and I might agree 80 percent, or even 100 percent on China....my comment is only that my strongestr hope and prayer is for DJT to bring in new and more trustworthy personnel than, shudder...horrors!....Kissiner for goodess’ sakes alive!!! thanks...

“I didn’t realize he was part of our government. And who paid for his trip? Did he fly commercial?”

I’ll give you three guesses who paid for the trip....US Taxpayers for the corrupt present administration. Any takers on this bet????

On top of his globalist B.S., he is simply a self-important jag. Remember when he was supposed to be a “sex symbol” back in the day? LMAO.

Never could stand him.

you like DJT. I like DJT> But i will stop liking DJT if he can’t come up with anybody better than an old antiAmerican Nazi basturd to help us with this important matter

it is my opinion. whether DJT or anyone else likes it or not, there it is.... end of file, case closed for now.

except that I really do believe DJT is much much better and smarter than to actually do such a thing

I think those that have said they think he’s doing it, are mistaken. He’s a very bright fellow, really is...
and the last thing he needs now at the start of his adminstration is to smear his hands with sh...

I hope hope you are right

(I cant help telling you I would associate HK a lot more with the pre-repentent Judas Iscariot than with John the Baptist, imho he’s an Satanic agent)

Like the Bushes with the Saudi’s, these globalists have personal ties with these international leaders that go back for many years.

Personally, I have no problem with Kissinger easing the minds of the Chinese. To me, it’s a signal to the world, including the liberal media, that Trump is a capable leader and not an out-of-control buffoon.

Don’t make such assumptions. Some 93 yr olds are perfectly lucid with sound cognition.

You shouldn’t make the assumption that I’m serious.

All you have to do is flow the news and read Art of the Deal.

Well, of course I don’t know.

However Kissinger is an American and I don’t think he hates Trump more than he loves America.

Kissinger met face to face with Trump. Kissinger has keys to China doors. They hatched a magnificent plot to begin negotiations for the deal. Kissinger sees and understands the change in China that many here cannot see. To have a hand in the direction of the future is a wonderful opportunity for a very old man
