One of my favorite anecdotes about the two decades I spent working alongside China's Premier Zhou Enlai comes from the first formal words he exchanged with Henry Kissinger in 1971, at a top-secret meeting in Beijing. After more than two decades of war and threats of war, it was the first time that a senior representative of each of these great nations had sat at the same table.
