Teng:
And we can not undertake any commitments or make any promises in internal affairs like when and how we will do or establish things that pertain to internal affairs.
Kissinger:
But theoretically, you could make a general statement of your unilateral intentions. Not to us, but just as a general statement.
Teng:
What are we to say in it. Anyway, we think this is something that we are bound to discuss again.
Kissinger:
Yes, that is the only remaining issue. The other problems are soluble and let me think about that last question.
Teng:
As for the other specific issues, we don't have anything more we think needs to be said. We believe in our discussions these few days, we have had a wide range of views in the international situation. I would like to take this opportunity to make clear our basic concept of this whole question. As Chairman Mao has said repeatedly to visiting guests, the present world is not tranquil.
And the Foreign Minister also mentioned that there is great disorder under heaven. And yesterday, that was just what I was coming to -- then the Dr. mentioned the talk between Chairman Mao and the Danish Foreign Minister.
Kissinger:
I agree with Chairman Mao.
