   Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.  Herculean_Librarian | Sep 10, 2022 |   Henry Kissinger has taken a somewhat chronological approach. The first section goes back to 'the century of humiliation', and he explains how this has influenced the Chinese. From there, there is a broad swathe until the time of Hu Jintao. He has dedicated a large section of the book to the Mao/Zhou Enlai/Deng Xiaoping era, and I assume that this is because this is the time he was involved with China. His writing on Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao are more cursory. I do not think that he has explored geopolitics in its entirety, and this is fine because it would have complicated the narrative. Along the way, you get some insights into how the Chinese negotiate and their approach to relationships and strategy. This is why I have given it a 5-star. I am sure he has glossed over, and ignored his missteps and miscalculations insofar as China is concerned.

Eigenlijk is het onbetamelijk hoe de CCP nergens de verantwoordelijkheid voor 80 miljoen doden sinds de oprichting van de Volksrepubliek onder de neus krijgt geschoven. De uitspraken van de CCP-leiders in het boek zijn dikwijls verwaand en hoogmoedig. Vervang in hun opmerkingen de woorden 'China' en 'het Chinese volk' met CCP en je krijgt een heel ander en correcter beeld van waar het om draait. Het probleem Taiwan dat regelmatig aan bod komt kan nu een aantal jaren nadat dit boek werd geschreven een heel ander beeld geven van de bedoelingen van de CCP. Ondertussen heeft Taiwan een democratisch verkozen regering en bewijst Hongkong hoe het 'één land twee systemen' werkt. De CCP heeft duidelijk niet de bedoeling de macht los te laten en democratie enige kans te geven. Integendeel, de bij de overname van Hongkong beginnende democratie wordt er op autoritaire wijze afgebroken.. (  ) Rodemail | Nov 10, 2019 |
Kissinger chooses to ascribe huge insight to virtually everything Mao says. Henry Kissinger will always remain a controversial historical figure. But this elegantly written and erudite book reminds us that on one of the biggest questions of the post-World War II world his judgment was right, and showed a long-term vision that few politicians of any country could match today. Unless, of course, Hillary Clinton is even now on a secret mission to Tehran. Henry Kissinger in China was always a gratingly and irritatingly smug presence, but Henry Kissinger "on China" is madly baffling. An epic and, in some places, surprisingly moving book (...) on China Mr. Kissinger’s fascinating, shrewd and sometimes perverse new book, “On China,” not only addresses the central role he played in Nixon’s opening to China but also tries to show how the history of China, both ancient and more recent, has shaped its foreign policy and attitudes toward the West. (...) Lurking beneath Mr. Kissinger’s musings on Chinese history is a not-so-subtle subtext. This volume, much like his 1994 book, “Diplomacy,” is also a sly attempt by a controversial figure to burnish his legacy as Nixon’s national security adviser and secretary of state. It is a book that promotes Mr. Kissinger’s own brand of realpolitik thinking, and that in doing so often soft-pedals the human costs of Mao’s ruthless decades-long reign and questions the consequences of more recent American efforts to press human-rights issues with the Chinese.

Cualquier intento de comprender el futuro papel de China en el mundo comienza con el reconocimiento de su historia: ningún otro país puede reivindicar una relación tan poderosa con su pasado y sus principios tradicionales, y son muy pocas las sociedades que han alcanzado una dimensión y una sofisticación comparables. Henry Kissinger fue el gran artífice de la apertura de China al mundo con su visita en 1971 como secretario de Estado, y la preparación de la que al año siguiente llevaría a cabo el presidente Nixon. Desde entonces, la relevancia de China en el mundo no ha dejado de crecer. Kissinger ha ayudado a configurar las relaciones de China con Occidente, y ha escrito por fin la historia de un país que conoce íntimamente. A partir de documentos históricos y de las conversaciones mantenidas con los líderes chinos durante los últimos cuarenta años, examina el modo en que China ha abordado la diplomacia, la estrategia y la negociación a lo largo de su historia, y reflexiona sobre susconsecuencias en el balance global del poder en el siglo XXI.
