[ applause ] >> mr. vice president, distinguished guests, when the premanner i concluded the communique that announced the secret visit to beijing, the premier said this announcement will shake the world. and even we could not imagine at the time the tremendous implications of the opening of relations between china and the united states. for 40 years through eight american administrations and five generations of chinese leaders, china and the united states have worked out an enormous series of problems. of course representing different cultures. and in some respects domestic value systems. there have been occasions of disagreement. but the significant aspect is that the two sides have always found a way to understand the complexities and challenges of the other and that they have moved forward through extraordinary alteration of international events. they have been honest with each other. and they are now entering a new period. never before have so many changes taken place in the world simultaneously. a

mr. vice president, you are here at a crucial moment. a moment as significant as the early opening in our relations was. both countries are undergoing domestic transformations. both countries have to deal with a global economy. both countries have to be concerned with the spread of nuclear weapons. both countries face challenges that have never existed before, like environment, climate, energy on a global basis. and both countries face a unique new challenge. for people like myself who taught international relations, we were brought brought up on tn of sovereignty and of conflict between nations. and of the inevitability of competition leading to deepen ing and you visit here, mr. vice president, it's the beginning of a process by which our two countries deepened their relationship in a new manner. we can prove to the world that history will laud us not through the conflict of societies, but through the reconciliations. >> 89-year-old henry kissinger, secretary of state in the nixon and ford administrations, played a key role as a nation
