More From Henry A. Kissinger

Well it did not make excessive sense to say that 20 million people are the recognized government of a billion people that have their own institutions. we did not change it in the sense that we said this has to end, but there was a u.n. vote that transferred the legitimacy of china from taiwan to beijing. beijing was recognized as the government of all of china. then, under president carter, we followed what the u.n. had already done eight years earlier.

In the short term, it would not have made it possible to resume relations, because in the chinese mind, the humiliation of china started with the annexation of taiwan by japan. if the united states had suddenly declared taiwan as a separate state - for which we would have had no support among other nations - the consequences would have been giving up our relationship with china and committing ourselves to a long-term conflict with china.

When i grew up, in taiwan, the korean war was seen as a good war, where america protected asia. it was sort of an extension of world war ii. and it was, of course, the peak of the cold war. people in taiwan were generally proamerican. the korean war made japan. and then the vietnam war made taiwan. there is some truth to that.

Environmentalism is not an upper-income issue, it's not a white issue, it's not a black issue, it's not a south or a north or an east or a west issue. it's an issue that all of us have a stake in. and if i can do anything to make sure that not just my daughter but every child in america has green pastures to run in and clean air to breathe and clean water to swim in, then that is something i'm going to work my hardest to make happen.

Authorities act with themselves in mind. leaders act with others in mind. authorities take. leaders give. authorities die. leaders live on.

Taiwan will probably not declare independence. the question isn't independence. the issue is whether taiwan will declare itself as a sovereign separate state. that will start a huge crisis if that happens.
