On the 7th (local time), according to U.S. media, former Secretary Kissinger stated at a virtual discussion hosted by the New York Economic Club regarding U.S.-China relations, "Leaders of the United States and China need to discuss the boundaries that should not be crossed." He added, "After that, they must find a way to implement that policy over the long term," and warned, "If this is impossible, we will fall into a situation similar to World War I."

Former Secretary Kissinger was the National Security Advisor under President Richard Nixon and was instrumental in establishing U.S.-China diplomatic relations. Now 97 years old, he has emphasized the need to ease U.S.-China tensions through visits to China and other countries.
