Kissinger: the new cold war will be much more dangerous than the first

The new cold war will be much more dangerous than the first, former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said in an interview with the Spanish newspaper Mundo.

At the same time, according to him, the second cold war can begin without the participation of Russia, between China and the United States. He noted that the resources of both countries are comparable, despite the fact that during the Cold War there was no such parity between the USSR and the USA. Kissinger said that Washington and Beijing are already adversaries, and one should not expect that the PRC will accept the point of view of the West.

Earlier, former Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, meeting with Kissinger, spoke of the “catastrophic consequences” of the new Cold War for the whole world. He stressed that “Washington must return to a rational and pragmatic policy towards China, return to the correct path of respecting the three joint China-US communiqués, and maintain the political basis of China-US relations.”
