He was the last president to think about actions affecting the world twenty, thirty, fifty years later - not just to the next election cycle.

However, the mistake was made decades later by subsequent administrations who failed to adjust to the changing political realities around the collapse of the USSR and the rising threat of China.

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.
China does not want to rule the world, if you look at 5000 years history of China, the problem is, WASP think from their own experience and mentality....so this is actually illusion, they pushed China to the iron thrown.
"Interests", not ideology ... the president made it clear. However, there was a trigger event that presented the opportunity -- the Zhenbao/Damansky island border war between China and Soviet Union, and the following plan of a nuclear attack on China by the Soviets. The Soviets consulted the idea with the US on potential reactions from the Americans. It was all due to strategic interests. Later, Kissinger mentioned that he didn't know China would become an economic competitor, and a technology competitor to the US.
I don't think anyone realized how fast the CCP could do monkey see/monkey do. They went from an economic basket case to power house in 20 years. Helped of course by dopey Americans who wanted profits, and by traitors like bill clinton who gave away all of our major tech secrets. @@JamesDoe-ie1sb

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 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.

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.
Yes,he is the first one who opened the gate for the dying China economy a failed communism ideology on the verge of collapse.this leads to the coming and entry of western investment that helped china to become powerful and lifted up its economy.before i really blame Nixon for making china powerful but later succeeding US president Clinton and Obama should revised the oppeness policy which china used to undermine America.
You took advantage from the Qing empire, and became rich in the first place. Even one of your president was elected as president due to hiis wealth made of smuggling opium to China

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.
US corporations needed cheap labor, China had it. We had technically defaulted the year before, when Nixon took us "temporarily' off of the gold standard. He then went to China to court the cheap labor. Thus began outsourcing.
In retrospect, considering who will outpace our economy, was it not a mistake? American corporations needed cheap labor, so let’s compromise integrity.
That all remains to be seen. Who even knows if there isn't some off-the-record understandings between the two powers? There certainly are at least a few factors one could consider hinting at it, like the fact that for a state that's always prioritized economic power and business over all else, the US was willing to gift so much of each to another world power; then consider how China, a power so supposedly insular and paranoid, was willing to let Google design and implement it's famous Social Credit system
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)
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....
I still get flashbacks seeing hm and kizz walking on the Great Wall in Chyna, side by side, In black and white t.v. as a lil boy, in Harlem, not nearly a tennager, oblivious to what was going on and why they were there.
Mr. Nixon's hamstring? He did not possess that coveted 'D' after his name if so opinion would be simply different and only God knows what would have come from Watergate...
He should not go there, CCP was on the verge of death, he revived it and it still exists today after all the trouble. However he was so proud of the trip.
He reduced chinese poverty immensely with this trip. 800 million chinese were lifted out of poverty over the following 40 years. He SHOULD be proud. Communism thrives on poverty. We could very well see Chinese Communism fall in our lifetimes because of his choice to go there.
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.

The left would never allow it. If some adversary were to come to an airport with thousands as seen here, today's hecklers would never allow it with their jeering. Such is the sad state pir generation have become.
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.
Interestingly, he suggests that his reasoning was entirely of common interests between Big Red and the United States without a single mention of the war raging in Vietnam at the very of ‘71 and ‘72 that he wanted to exit - a war that was a proxy war between Big Red and the United States. So, his enormous and admirable intellect cannot be confused with his clear character flaw of simply not stating the obvious and simply not stating the truth. His mention of a ‘secrecy plan’ somewhat flushed his cheeks as it was a Freudian slip about how he operated when he wasn’t sharing his great intellect with us - a character flaw that resulted in ultimately his resignation to avoid his conviction of breaking into the headquarters of his political adversaries in order to win an election that he couldn’t win fairly through democratic means. He is at the same time a brilliant man with no heart and with the character of a common criminal. He has a lot of company in his profession on both sides of isle - he distinguished himself by getting caught.
In foreign policy, moving on an initiative with doubtful outcome, normally do so privately in first stance. Saudi and Iran met up in Beijing March 2023, it had been privately done, public had known after completion with fruitful outcome. USA under Reagan had done same, you still remember the person ' Oliver North' ?
First of all Nixon did win that election fairly and by one of the largest landslides in history. Secondly, he’s absolutely right Vietnam was used as leverage to open Sino American relations, as the Chinese and Russians were wat each others throats….the Chinese would agree to draw down support for North Vietnam meanwhile the Russians had to pivot and open more dialogue with the US, this became Detente which lead to not only the Soviet drawback of support to North Vietnam but also to Strategic Arms Limitation Treaties. Nixon saw a bad situation but was able to leverage what he could to change the entire balance of world power in the American favor
The only reason why china helped vietnam was due to the fact the ho chi min was a personal friend of mao and zhou enlai, Also ho chi min also begged roosevelt for help as well, but he rather handed the entirety of indochina to the kmt but chiang kai chek declined.
Let's be honest, nobody makes it to this level of the game, without being at least halfway criminal. It's pretty much a necessity to survive while swimming with the sharks
The soviet union would still exist lmao, the usa and china were allies in the cold war, and thats what brought down the soviets. Next 50 years, you will shun biden for getting close to india i bet, in case china collapses and india becomes the new superpower, india would then become the next regret for foreign policy 😂😂😂😂
Yes, I wonder what he would think of the situation the United States finds itself in with China today. We produce very little, and they produce it all. In addition, the South China Sea fiasco would surely ruffle his feathers.
@@khabbad I don’t think you read my comment. Because we opened up to them we now owe them a ton of debt and are reliant on them for trade. Also Taiwan doesn’t have any recognition, and we have now a communist seat in the UN Security Council.
@@ash_11117 Lol what do you mean by “we owe them debt”. Do you think the American government has borrowed money from China? I’m really confused by your comment
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.

USA under Reagan had done same, you still remember the person ' Oliver North' ?
First of all Nixon did win that election fairly and by one of the largest landslides in history. Secondly, he’s absolutely right Vietnam was used as leverage to open Sino American relations, as the Chinese and Russians were wat each others throats….the Chinese would agree to draw down support for North Vietnam meanwhile the Russians had to pivot and open more dialogue with the US, this became Detente which lead to not only the Soviet drawback of support to North Vietnam but also to Strategic Arms Limitation Treaties. Nixon saw a bad situation but was able to leverage what he could to change the entire balance of world power in the American favor
Vietnam was actually also chinas enemy since they were on the soviet side in the sino soviet split, while albania supported china
The only reason why china helped vietnam was due to the fact the ho chi min was a personal friend of mao and zhou enlai,
Also ho chi min also begged roosevelt for help as well, but he rather handed the entirety of indochina to the kmt but chiang kai chek declined.
Let's be honest, nobody makes it to this level of the game, without being at least halfway criminal. It's pretty much a necessity to survive while swimming with the sharks
Glad you waged a successful counter-revolution, Dick, but that doesn't excuse you taking us off the gold standard.
Nixon made China as it is today then. How come the simpsons characteristises him
As a crook? 😂😂
Rather than try to solve his own countries problems
An overseas holiday was in order!
Biggest US foreign policy error ever.
The soviet union would still exist lmao, the usa and china were allies in the cold war, and thats what brought down the soviets.
Next 50 years, you will shun biden for getting close to india i bet, in case china collapses and india becomes the new superpower, india would then become the next regret for foreign policy 😂😂😂😂
@@NeostormXLMAX Yep These are idiots without any Understanding of “Realpolitik” or without any sense of “History” and “Geopolitics”
@@NeostormXLMAXthe USSR went down becaus off the people in the USSR, Not becaus off China or the USA.
You're talking Nonsens.
@@ShabanAjetiseriously lol this guy needs to pick up a history book🤣 china took down the soviet union lmao that’s awesome
@@ShabanAjetii’ve literally never heard anyone ever say china even helped lol let alone actually doing it
It was the western oligarchs that say what happens and when it happens..
Outside the Bible
Nixon’s biggest mistake. Now we’re reliant on them. Maybe he didn’t directly cause it but he set us on the path.
Yes, I wonder what he would think of the situation the United States finds itself in with China today. We produce very little, and they produce it all. In addition, the South China Sea fiasco would surely ruffle his feathers.
BS! Opening the door to China was crucial at the time and a brilliant move. The exportation to China accelerated in the 90s
Reagan is at fault, not Nixon
@@khabbad I don’t think you read my comment. Because we opened up to them we now owe them a ton of debt and are reliant on them for trade. Also Taiwan doesn’t have any recognition, and we have now a communist seat in the UN Security Council.
@@ash_11117 Lol what do you mean by “we owe them debt”. Do you think the American government has borrowed money from China? I’m really confused by your comment
For the Peking Duck?😊
Gobblygook, but I hoped I’d hear him say one thing…Forest Gump was on the US ping pong team.
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.
Was it so china could sell us products?
I wonder if hs knowledge/experiences in/of the Far East offer anybearing 2 the A bombs, lil boy, drops in Japan?
young nixon is so fucking funny omg.
