China Respect the Real Old Statesman
who helped them in the pass.


[Chinese president Xi Jinping has given
a warm welcome to former top diplomat
Henry Kissinger,
as the US pursues closer ties with China.
Mr Kissinger's surprise trip to the Chinese capital
comes amid a flurry of visits by top US officials.
The former secretary of state, who is 100 years old,
played a crucial role in helping China emerge
from diplomatic isolation in the 1970s.

The US has stressed he is visiting
in his capacity as a private citizen.]
