Re: "The Global View" - Chinese TV Interview
Thursday, November 20 - 10:00 am 30 minutes

The interview will be the concluding segment of a series on US-China business relationships, shown throughout the PRC. Several large US corporations have taken part (AT&T, Bank of America, Polaroid, Sears, United Airlines among others.)

The series is co-sponsored by Beijing TV and the State Economic Commission.

The interviewer is Mme. Doris Wan Cheng, executive producer and chairman of the US-China Investment and Trade Corp. in Chicago.

With her to take some pictures and listen (but not take part in the interview) will the chief UN correspondents of (1) Xinhua News Agency, (2) People's Daily and (3) Economic Daily. The week the program airs these agencies will run stories to stimulate viewer interest.

15 minutes of the 30-minute program will be devoted to archival footage of your 1972 China trip -- and probably subsequent trips. The last 15 minutes will be this interview.

In addition, Mme. Cheng has asked for a shot of your office, of you walking into your office and possibly one of you conferring with a staff member.

The questions she will ask are attached. She said you could eliminate or alter any you wished.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

The anticipation of the New Year seems a most appropriate time to thank all of those who have made the past year unique and rewarding. My experience as the executive producer of "The Global View" has been inspiring. The opportunity to meet you and interview you truly set this year apart from all others.

For "The Global View", 1986 was a splendid year. The program received unprecedented support in China and the U.S. from governmental, industrial, and educational leaders. Since its very first broadcast in June, it has reached a broad-based Chinese audience with its important message about Western management and business culture. Of special interest to the Chinese were the insights you provided in your interview.

Chinese leaders have generously praised the series for its value to China's modernization and open-door policy. During my recent visit to China, every major Chinese newspaper and periodical wrote articles about "The Global View". We have signed a contract with the Chinese government to produce programs for the next two years. These programs will serve as text references for China's 30 industrial ministries, 400,000 enterprises, 100 management institutions, and 29 provincial branches of the China Enterprise Management Association. I will also be producing a television program for Western audiences on China's economic reform.

My dream, embodied in "The Global View" television series, is to contribute to the spirit of enduring Sino-U.S. understanding and collaboration. Your historic achievements have paved the way for building friendship and cooperation for generations to follow.

With my warmest wishes to you and your family for a happy and prosperous New Year.

# I. Introductory Remarks

In July 1971, Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, National Security Advisor to President Nixon, was in the midst of one of his world-famous diplomatic missions, a fact finding tour for the President. On July 8, his staff reported him ill in Pakistan. But while the world thought Dr. Kissinger was recovering, he was flying to Beijing for historic meetings with the Chinese leaders. Dr. Kissinger's visit to Beijing had been planned down to the most minute detail, and it was carried out to perfection. His so-called illness lasted 49 hours, twenty of which were spent conferring with Premier Zhou En-Lai. His visit, the first by a U.S. Government official to the Forbidden City in twenty-two years, prepared the way for President Nixon's historic journey seven months later.

Who is Henry A. Kissinger? There is no simple answer. He is an immigrant from Germany; a scholar from Harvard; a writer of many prominent books, articles, and speeches on international politics; a National Security Advisor and then Secretary of State. His diplomatic achievements contributed to world peace. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977.

Today, Dr. Kissinger remains as active as ever. He is a columnist for the *L.A. Times* syndicate, a political analyst for ABC Television, the Chairman of President Reagan's Commission on Central America, and a member of the President's Foreign Intelligence Board.

Since 1984, Dr. Kissinger has been chairman of his own firm, Kissinger Associates. He advises the chairmen and presidents of many of the world's leading corporations, providing them with his unique insights on global strategies. The associates and trustees of Dr. Kissinger's firm are a roster of international luminaries. Dr. Kissinger is as influential in the world of international business as he was in the world of international politics a decade ago.

It is a privilege for us to be at the office of Kissinger Associates in New York and it is a pleasure for us to welcome Dr. Henry A. Kissinger to "The Global View".

## II. Historical Perspectives

### Interviewer:

Dr. Kissinger, you brought a unique perspective to U.S.-International affairs. You added a global and innovative dimension to the usual practical perspective of a statesman. As you later wrote, "It was mutual necessity that impelled [the U.S. and China] to launch a fresh beginning in 1969." 1969 was your first year of public service and three years before U.S.-China rapprochment actually began. What were the insights and recommendations you had for President Nixon regarding U.S.-China relations at that time? Now that rapprochment has been underway for almost fifteen years, how has mutual necessity changed?

## III. The Relationship Between Trade and Foreign Policy

### Interviewer:

1) Dr. Kissinger, in your 1977 book, *For the Record*, you wrote that "New trade and financial relationships with...the People's Republic of China will...transform the landscape for business in the several decades." But you emphasized that "The relationship between increased trade and a responsible foreign policy is not automatic..."

What do you see as the criteria for a responsible foreign policy? How can the US achieve a synergistic relationship between trade and foreign policy?

2) In your book, *American Foreign Policy*, you listed the 6 guidelines for East-West trade.

From your current perspective as a strategic consultant to government and leading industries, are there any guidelines you would add, delete, or modify?

Revised Questions, November 15, 1986

IV. <u>Understanding China</u>

Interviewer:

Dr. Kissinger, in January, 1986, you wrote an article in the _New York Times Magazine_. Its intriguing title was "China Tries World's Newest Economic Model, an Upheaval that is in America's Interest." Would you discuss the China's economic model: its scope, its revolutionary character, and its importance not only for China but for the U.S.

From a broader international perspective, what impact will China's model have on the world economy in the years ahead?

V. Dr. Kissinger Today: Perspectives and Activities

Interviewer:

Dr. Kissinger, although you have not left public service entirely, we are most intrigued by your journey from public sector statesman to private sector chairman. Recently, the U.S. press has given a lot of attention to Kissinger Associates. Articles about you have appeared in _Business Week_, _Time_, and the _New York Times Magazine_ focussing on your success in Business.

1) How have you adapted your experience as a statesman to strategic consulting to multinational corporations? What contribution do you bring to your clients?

2) Why is it important for corporations to have a strategic advisor like yourself?

3) Every change demands considerable adjustments. From your position as Secretary of State to your position as chairman of your own company, what are the major adjustments you have had to make? What are the most difficult aspects of the adjustment process?

4) As chairman of Kissinger Associates, what are your responsibilities? Would you kindly describe for our audience a typical week at work? What brings you personal fulfillment at this stage of your life?

## VI. The Future

### Interviewer:

This is an age of technological revolution. The rate of innovation accelerates and the technology life cycle diminishes. It is a world that demands closer international cooperation and greater understanding of the relationship between economics and politics. Your knowledge and experience will be most valuable to leaders in industry in the years ahead. As chairman of your corporation, what are your strategies for growth?

## VII. Concluding Remarks

### Interviewer:

Dr. Kissinger, on behalf of "The Global View," I wish to thank you for sharing with us your authoritative insights. Talking with you has been a great personal honor for me.

You once wrote, "The talent of the truly creative leader lies in his ability to build policies and institutions on the underlying foundations of a society." Those words, I think, apply to you and your achievements as a statesman with far-reaching experience and a scholar with a broad historical perspective. Although you are a citizen of the United States, which you have served and continue to serve with wisdom, dignity, and honor, it is no exaggeration to say that you are truly a citizen of the world.

Thank you very much.
