Xi Jinping Says Happy New Year

China’s Supreme Leader Xi Jinping offered his traditional New Year’s greeting Monday with a warning. “The reunification of the motherland is a historical inevitability,” Mr. Xi said, according to the Chinese-language version documented by various news sources.“Compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait should be bound by a common sense of purpose and share in the glory of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,” he added. The official English translation wrote “all Chinese” rather than “compatriots,” according to a Reuters dispatch.Copyright ©2024 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Henry Kissinger, Statesman and Friend

My father, who worked for the U.S. Treasury in the 1970s, called Henry Kissinger the smartest, hardest-working person he ever knew. As a teenager, I responded by demonstrating against the Nixon administration and the Vietnam War. Little did I understand that Kissinger was working step by step to end the war while the demonstrations took place.Years later I met Henry for the first time. He asked me about how Google worked and joined me on stage at headquarters where he announced that Google was “a threat to the world’s civilization.” The Googlers loved it, and Henry eventually became my best friend.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
