Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry
Kissinger discusses the long-term
implications of Chinese economic and
political growth for United States security.
-----
Henry Kissinger discusses war and more with
Peter Robinson as part of the Hoover
Institution's interview series, Uncommon
Knowledge.
War and the media - the two have not
partnered so well since Vietnam. But in the
days of the Internet, conservative talk
radio, and Fox News, has the dynamic changed?
Kissinger says only a bit, and that the media
remain heavily biased against military
action.
Additionally, the 1960s concept that the U.S.
government is somehow an evil enterprise is
alive and well.
In this environment, Kissinger says our
leaders need to present a clearer and more
educated vision of the American role in the
world - Hoover Institution
Henry Alfred Kissinger was the 56th Secretary
of State of the United States from 1973 to
1977, continuing to hold the position of
Assistant to the President for National
Security Affairs which he first assumed in
1969 until 1975. After leaving government
service, he founded Kissinger Associates, an
international consulting firm, of which he is
chairman.
Peter M. Robinson is a research fellow at the
Hoover Institution, where he writes about
business and politics, edits Hoover's
quarterly journal, the Hoover Digest, and
hosts Hoover's television program, Uncommon
Knowledge. Robinson is also the author of
three books: How Ronald Reagan Changed My
Life; It's My Party: A Republican's Messy
Love Affair with the GOP; and the
best-selling business book Snapshots from
Hell: The Making of an MB.

| Welcome to China |
 |
China has one of the world's oldest people
and continuous civilizations, consisting of
states and cultures dating back more than six
millennia. It has the world's longest
continuously used written language system,
and is the source of such major inventions as
what the British scholar and biochemist
Joseph Needham called the "four great
inventions of Ancient China": paper, the
compass, gunpowder, and printing.
Historically China's cultural sphere has been
very influential in East Asia as a whole,
with Chinese religion, customs, and writing
system being adopted, to varying degrees, by
its neighbors Japan, Korea, and Vietnam.
