Henry Kissinger, Nixon's secretary of state who opened the door to China, has another new move up his sleeve. For the first time, he's lending his name to a foreign policy think tank. Whispers has learned that the Woodrow Wilson Center will soon announce the creation of the Kissinger Institute on China and the United States. This is the real deal: Hank will be joined by Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs Yang Jiechi. The center looks to raise about $25 million to build an institute that will focus on helping to foster relations with China. Insiders, meanwhile, joke that the institute's acronym is a real but sad statement on current U.S.-world relations: KICUS.

I appreciate the comments by Zhanglianchang. Aside from establishing think tanks for strategic and academic thought, like the Kissinger/Yang institute, do you have any thoughts on how China might reach the American public with China's message and how America might reach the Chinese public with America's message?

Additionally, if you happened to read Henry Kissinger's book "Diplomacy", could you comment on your thoughts of the importance and accuracy of that account and how it portrays Sino-American relations in the future? Thank you.

To those concerned,

In the era of rapid development and fiece competition, the Sino-American relationship is definitely becoming more and more important to China, the USA and every other region of the world. In this sense, the opening of this institute is of profound meaning and this institute will gradually gain fame in the future.

I learned English quite well and hope to achieve something by using this effective tool.

So contact me if you think I am helpfull.

I am a postgraduate in Chinese Academy of China, studying in Beijing.
