CAMBRIDGE – This month marks the 40th anniversary of Henry Kissinger’s secret trip to Beijing, which launched the process of mending a 20-year breach in diplomatic relations between the United States and China. That trip, and President Richard Nixon’s subsequent visit, represented a major Cold War realignment.
发自剑桥——就在40年前的7月，亨利·基辛格秘密访问北京，着手修复中美两国间长达20年的外交裂痕。而那次访问以及随后美国总统理查德·尼克松的访华都意味着冷战中的一次重新结盟，从此双方摒弃激烈对立，成功联手遏制了苏联的扩张主义行动。
