Henry Kissinger Interview Part 1: China

The Takeaway

Dr. Henry Kissinger served as U.S. Secretary of State from 1973 to 1977. He discusses his work as the first American diplomat to enter China in 1971 after 25 years of little contact. Kissinger worked to build bilateral relations between the two countries. His new book “On China” looks at the past, present and future of a nation that is still a mystery to many of us.
