Nixon Answers: Why Did He Go To China?

And now you look at all that’s been done since that historic visit by President Nixon. Communist China owns all our debt, all our farmland, all our trade assets. We the people can thank the bumbling stumbling presidents Clinton, Bush Sr., Bush Jr., Obama and Obiden

Corporate Money period

I was 12 years old & I thought it was a solo flight to MARS I mean total HEROIC MOVE ! A few days later I was afraid they would poison him & that made the move even more gutsy then Heroic, IT WAS REAL PURE COURAGE. RN, A GREAT PRESIDENT!

It was the western oligarchs that say what happens and when it happens..

People who weren't alive in 1972 don't understand the abject threat the USSR posed to the international world order at the time. Unlike China, the USSR was an expansionist power that sought to cripple the West via proxies ( think contemporary Iran on steroids). The USSR would support authoritarian regimes in the second and third world in the name of "nationalism" or "anti-capitalism." Western Europe lived under constant threat of the Warsaw Pact backed by the Red Army. Mao was nearing the end of his life (passing just 4 years later in 1976) and he too wanted to assure some counterbalance to the often hostile relationship China had with the USSR, compounded by sharing a 2,615 mile border. Yes, the consequences of the China of today could not have been foreseen, but the opening in 1972 greatly reduced the cold war tensions between the US and China while also increasing pressure on the USSR.

It was the right decision at the time. That is if you accept the realist theory of International relations

Reagan destroyed american industry

Yes very important

American foreign policy was run by Henry Kissinger. USA wanted to lure china on a road to capitalism thus hoping to isolate then USSR and also to curtail further spread of socialism to Chinese neighbors . Massive investments were made by western manufacturers ...but Americans misjudged the Chinese leadership resulting into a rival superpower .

This was very significant to us in Australia as a few weeks earlier in July 1971, Australian Labor Opposition Leader Gough Whitlam had become the first Western leader to visit Red China.

All the usual McCarthyist name calling ensued (we had troops in South Vietnam too, but nowhere near as many as the US, especially in 1971), until Nixon announced his own visit a few weeks later.

The fact that Republican US President Richard Nixon was doing the exact same thing as the Australian Labor leader neutered all attacks on him.

Nixon's visit to China was hugely important to the Asia-Pacific region. It's a shame that this sort of thing didn't happen a lot earlier.

Nixon was definitely playing realpolitik with this move more than any other.

But it meant a lot to us in Australia. You can't have the world's most populous country in your region and simply not engage with them.

Plus, by the time of the 1970s, even when Mao was still alive, China was no longer concerned with exporting Communism (unlike the Soviet Union), as opposed to exporting cheap goods.

I would argue that China is the most capitalist country in the world today, once you view the country as its own company.

What about all the factories? That part not so brilliant.

Nixon is admitting that he compromised his anti-communist promises to Americans for the gold of China. Looks like Nixon helped US build back better back then.

I binge watch these and forget to comment!!! GREAT WORK!!!

Nixon is gay

Because great leaders establish diplomatic relations with the global community

AH / AD 28 February 2024 AD :
A comment is in preparation .

These videos should be more popular just to show people the level of professionalism and knowledge presidents used to have compared to candidates today

Pathetic leader

He was upset there was General Tso chicken and he wanted Nixon pork.

I have great respect for this man but, anyway you see it with what we're witnessing today, it was perhaps the greatest mistake this country has ever made. With all due respect, to China, before you take manufacturing businesses overseas you make sure your people are taken care first. China has become a superpower today and millions of people there have become millionaires thanks to American investments and transferring of manufacturing businesses there while millions of Americans lost their livelihoods and many have become homeless.

I know a lot of Americans believe this was a mistake, but from Nixon's viewpoint, it was the best decision of his presidency, because it led to the victory of the cold war. Had America taken the same step with Russia after the fall of the USSR, then China wouldn't not be the major power it is, and Russia wouldn't be resurgent. But America enjoyed playing Imperialism and in this case, two countries didn't back down, and the wall is crumbling.

The world needs this man more than ever ........

Talking and stalking wherever it takes to justified the hidden agenda and to concealed the most important subtle hegemonies to conquer the influence of the world....

When is this from?

Listening to Tricky Dick speak make all Presidents from Biden through Bush 41 seam like boys or amateurs.

Nixon went to China to secure Peace. Biden went to China went to China to pick up a check.

Kissinger recollection is that French President Georges Pompideau while Nixon was running in 1968 that the West had no interest in considering China an enemy.

(Book: Nixon and Kissinger--Dallek)

Nixon made China as it is today then. How come the simpsons characteristises him
As a crook? 😂😂

Compare how smart the man is compared to the moron in the White House now.

I SAID IT LOTS OF TIMES IN MY LIFE, ABOT PRES. - RICHARD NIXON ; = BLESSED ARE THE PEACE MAKERS! AND MODTLIKELY, I WIL - WILL SAY IT MANY MORE TIMES! SO IT SHALLBE SO!! + SALUE & R.I.P. Mr. PRESIDENT!

Because by doing so he Created the Economical Collaboration between two giants of Global Markets which generated the majority of Industries in America Born between the '80s and the '90s which by now have more than a Trillion Dollars in Stock Values...
...Each.

No not Communism.

Because he could! Nixon and Ford were the last moderate Republican Presidents in the US. Reagan started the rightward movement of that party which has lost sight of reality.

he prounance 周恩来 Zhou En Lai very perfectly

Always remember: nixon invented the words 'made in china'. We see it everywhere now. It stands for quality and durability and value. Best words Americans can read. thank you thank you thank you nixon.

Under Nixon, Taiwan was kicked out of UNSC "permanent" membership and CCP replaced it.
Not only that, Taiwan was just kicked out of UN all together.
Because, suddenly, Taiwan was a part of China?

And then Nixon made humiliating visit to China, forced to eat and sleep there for A WEEK?
What the hell was going on?

I doubt if he wanted anything to do with the Chinese. He was looking for a way out of Vietnam and China was their biggest ally. He also said Kennedy should have bombed Cuba during the Bay of Pigs so come to your own conclusions. It was never about his desire to open China. If that’s not obvious enough I don’t know what is.

Thats politics he who once my enemy is now my friend.

CA gave us two Republican presidents - now we have crazy Democrats ruling CA with an iron fist

Nixon was a horrible man and the most corrupt American president, that is until Trump came on the scene.

he only accelerated the decline of the USA, I mean it took 20 years but he started it

Nixon never save China of the extreme poverty never imagine him save a monster later want to conquer the world

TO GET PAID LIKE BODEAN DID

History is judged only by historical events, not by today’s events. Orange cannot be compared with apple. Probably more than the meeting is he was sending hope to China. That was the message at that historical time.

Good interviewer! What is his name?😶

Definitely the signature foreign policy achievement of the Nixon administration.

The U.S. in terms of foreign policy, needs to draw fine lines between threat and appeasement.
Nixon here says he isn't reasoning with an incendiary bomb, but instead is pulling China more towards the U.S. in terms of strategic interests. I think this is a great idea because it benefits both parties and lowers the threat of China, while simultaneously not being too friendly to fuel the idea of Chinese aggression. It's one of the best, if not the best ways to keep the peace without bloodshed. And I support that idea.

Why? because of the food, of course!

Not the greatest president (nor the worst), and he WAS a crook, but Nixon missed his calling. He should have been Secretary of State. For life. Under red and blue administrations. He was THAT awesome. Yeah, Kissinger was really good, but Nixon would have been legend in that capacity.
