Nixon’s visit to China (1972)
On the Mao’s China map as “Nixon in Beijing”
21 Feb 1972 — Richard Nixon meets Mao in his study for about an hour, only hours after landing in Beijing. Mao is ill, but jokes that he “voted for” Nixon. The week’s banquets and visit to the Great Wall are broadcast live on American television. The enemy of 1950 had become a partner against the Soviet Union.
