Remarks of #Kissinger on China-U.S. relations:
-- The weight of #China will increase. It is inevitable; it is a fact of life; and it must, therefore, be considered in any discussions we have about a new #internationalsystem.

-- This requires wisdom and restraint on the part of all parties. No conversation in the world today is more important than the #American and #Chinese strategic dialogue.
