Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger sat down with Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait on June 7 in New York City to discuss his life and career upon turning 100 years old. The wide-ranging conversation ranged from his concerns that China could end up in a military conflict with the US over Taiwan to the future of President Vladimir Putin after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. He talks about how his own worldview was shaped by what he experienced as a Jewish teenager escaping Nazi Germany and by what he saw in the concentration camps as an American soldier.
