‘World Order’ At Risk if Sino-U.S. Conflict Escalates: Kissinger

(Singapore) — China and the U.S. must agree to keep conflict between them under control, or risk “destroying hopes for the world order,” former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said.

Kissinger’s remarks come ahead of his Wednesday trip to Beijing, where he is expected to meet Chinese leaders to discuss U.S.-China relations, Caixin learned. Representatives from the U.S. and China will also hold a high-level security dialogue on Friday, after months marked by trade war, heated rhetoric and military standoffs in the South China Sea. U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to meet at the G-20 summit in late November.
