    Bruh, they called the man an old friend. Basic human respect is one thing but this man is directly responsible for the deaths of millions.

    No one was expecting them to say anything “gratifying”, but friend? Lmao. It’s at worst disrespectful to the lives lost cause the US wanted to preserve the very same hegemony China is fighting against as we speak.

    Sue me for feeling disgust over calling a mass murderer an “old friend”.

      They kind of had to call kissinger an old friend because he advocated for China’s recognition. I doubt Xi really likes Kissinger, but China definitely owes him more than basic human respect. This is of course not to defend him or anything.

        Did they really have to go so far to call him a friend? They could have simply acknowledged what he did. Did they even mention what he did to their neighbors?
