China is mourning the death of Henry Kissinger, the 100-year-old US diplomat who played a critical role in America’s historic rapprochement with China in the 1970s.
The former diplomat, who had unprecedented high-profile access to senior government officials throughout his lifetime, died on Wednesday and leaves a polarising legacy, as he was remembered in the American media for his huge influence on foreign policy while simulatneously being branded a “war criminal” by some.
