Henry Kissinger: 'US has to live with the China that exists'

Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has said ''America has to live with the China that exists'' as Chinese President Hu Jintao visits the US at the invitation of President Barack Obama.

Mr Kissinger said the leaders of both China and the US saw ''no victory'' in a cold war.

Earlier Mr Obama said he saw China's "peaceful rise" as good for the United States.
