m**********n 发帖数: 27535 | 1 Kissinger Deplores 'Cheating' China Campaign Ads
Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger is sharply criticizing both U.S.
presidential candidates for appealing to American suspicions of China in
their campaigns.
Kissinger said Wednesday the candidates have used "extremely deplorable"
language, labeling China a cheat.
Last week both campaigns issued ads promising to get tough over alleged
Chinese trade violations often blamed for major U.S. job losses.
Kissinger was the architect of U.S. re-engagement with Beijing 40 years ago.
He still advocates better relations between the superpowers.
Kissinger has endorsed Mitt Romney but made clear Wednesday he opposed the
candidate's promise to designate China a currency manipulator, saying
virtually all China experts oppose it.
He said "theoreticians" advocating that step, lacking experience with China,
have turned it into a crusade.
Kissinger spoke at the Wilson Center in Washington. |
