Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger warned of a second Cold War that is more dangerous than the first, amid the continued escalating tension between China and the United States.

In an interview for a Spanish newspaper, Kissinger warned that a new Cold War might erupt between China and the US.

The former Secretary of State pointed out that both sides had similar economic resources, which was not the case during the first Cold War between the mid-1940s and the early 1990s.

Elsewhere, Kissinger considered that the two economic giants have now turned into rivals, adding that it is not permissible to wait for China to turn toward the West.

The former top US official had previously pointed to the seriousness of the US-China conflict, warning that it could turn into "the greatest challenge facing humanity."

In mid-August 2022, Kissinger considered that Washington is "at the edge of war" with Moscow and Beijing on the matters that the United States co-created.

In a related context, Kissinger told The Washington Post in mid-March that the Chinese-brokered agreement on the restoration of relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia will amount to "a substantial change in the strategic situation in the Middle East."

He also acknowledged that "the US is no longer the indispensable power in the region."
