Henry Kissinger Interview Part 2: China and Vietnam

China has existed as an independent state for close to 4,000 years. After a decline in the 20th Century, the large nation has risen to the ranks of a global superpower in recent decades, replacing the USSR as U.S. rival; but it has also been a partner. Many would argue that  Dr. Henry Kissinger  is the man to thank for China’s current relationship with the West, and particularly the U.S.  He joins us for more on that subject and his new book “On China,” and also admits to mistakes in strategy by the Nixon Administration on the war in Vietnam.
