As China's ruling Communist Party undertakes its once-in-a-decade leadership transition, former US national security adviser Henry Kissinger hopes that under the new leadership the Asian giant will be ‘more transparent’ and its opaque legal system ‘more predictable’.
Kissinger, who is credited with opening America's relations with China in the 70's, says he expects to see transformations in the Chinese economy and society as well as foreign policy in the coming decade.
‘I think it (China) will be more transparent, its legal system will be more predictable,’ Kissinger was quoted as saying by China Daily as the Communist Party of China is poised to announce a new leadership on Wednesday at the end of a week-long behind-the-door meetings here.
‘But it has huge adjustments to make,’ Kissinger, 89, said.
