- Forty five years ago today, on February 21, 1972, China's leader Mao Zedong and US President Richard Nixon met to normalize relations between their two countries. Their meeting in Beijing was brief but it set the scene for what has become the most important economic relationship in the world. CGTN's Owen Fairclough looks back on the historic encounter.

"As for the imperialist countries, we should unite with their peoples and strive to coexist peacefully with those countries, do business with them and prevent any possible war, but under no circumstances should we harbour any unrealistic notions about them." -Mao Zedong
Mr Nixon was a very
Intelligent and great human being very worrying we don't have is like in government
anymore
Nixon worked hard on peace in the Asian region.
assuming that didn't include Bangladeshi LOL
@@mumkeymaan4600 Along with Laos and Cambodia
Lmao you realise he carpet bombed indo china right?
This was indeed one of the few good things Nixon did
Joshua Willis this was not a good thing at all.
depends how you look at it.
William Zhao he is from tsywan
Not a good thing
Clay Blackwell it’s people like you that makes the USA look bad. Just don’t open your mouth ok
I don't like Nixon but got to admit He/Kissinger/Mao/Zhou Enlai did one of the greatest moves on diplomacy in the human history.
Yeah what an excellent move to betray Chiang Kai Shek and make us rely on China for everything. ‘One of the greatest moves’ my ass
@@hzq-yg8bj You just have an extremely limited perspective of geopolitics, and anachronic as well... But that's common today, people are just too lazy and too loyal to their ignotance to study and trully analyse things beyond their poor understanding.
@@hzq-yg8bj Chiang Kai Shek is hands down one of the worst leaders in modern history. He took everything Sun-Yat Sen hoped to build and tore it down for his own selfish desires, he let China get dominated by the rest of the world, he failed to avoid war with Japan, and when war came he could only fight the Japanese back with the help of Mao, then he somehow still managed to go from a nearly unlosable position in the civil war to losing everything but one dumpy island in a few short years, an island which he ruled with an iron fist till his death. He was so terrible that the US even said in 1949 it would've preferred Mao to Chiang. He's like Saddam Hussein but so much worse.
Chiang's legacy is a legacy of failure and self-enrichment, to say anything else is an outright lie.
Mao came from nothing and he still at the very least united China and restored dignity to 1 billion+ people.
nothing like shaking hands and making deals with a mass murderer
@@AgainsTheHipocrisy actually that is a true statement... And another true statement is that chairman Mao is a mass murderer.. but then it's strictly business
balls of steel
👍
Nixon just for the reconciliation of relations with china is one of the best ever American president
Nixon killed millions in Viet Nam
@@mmorales5696 no, he was the one who got us out of the vietnam war
Megan Alecia That was Lyndon look it up.
@@mmorales5696 that’s war for you
Because you’re not American. For us Yanks, he was the bastard scum of the earth.
What I want to know is why is Nixon smiling as if it's a great honor to meet such a great man?
Historic video but audibility is poor
While this meeting is great, I bet the south Vietnamese watching were heart broken when Nixon shook hands with "the devil". What a tragic situation that was...
What do you think the North Vietnamese felt?
@@cristianpaladi9932 the north Vietnamese didn’t like Mao neither did Castro
Probably Nixon's biggest blunder as president. We are paying for it today, and ultimately, we may lose our freedom as a direct consequence. Nixon never realized that Vietnam would be lost anyway a few years down the line.
It made sense at that time. It was one of the most pragmatic way in crippling the Soviet Union economically. You can't analyze history with a modern lens.
thank you de gaulle !
Ah, le commentaire du petit français complexé anti US ! Tu devrais t'occuper de ton pays envahi par les maghrébins. Ton pays est perdu et tu la ramènes !!!! 😂😂😂😂
il était ou de gaulle de tout ça
c'est en parti le général de gaulle qui inspire nixon dans son rapprochement avec la chine ... bien sûr, les anglosaxons diront que c'est kissinger qui a tout fait !
le rapprochement chine - USA est surtout la fin de presque trente ans d'erreur de la part de l'amérique quand on sait qu'en 44 mao et zhou enlai réclamaient avec insistance que l'amérique les aide et que les spécialistes américains de la chine en poste en extrême-orient essayaient de persuader en vain, l'administration rossevelt de reconnaître les communistes chinois ...
mais ça, on t'y a pas dit à la téloche ? ? @@elegantman1980
kesta ? @@elegantman1980
My one of the most favorite country China❤️💛🇨🇳
Damn look at Maos hairline
BG21 Dayum
It was very old then
he is very old.
Mao was in his 80s
It did the long march away from his forehead
This is gonna get some hate but if you’re a pragmatic type person then Nixon is an underrated president
When Nixon made his historic visit to China in 1972 to meet with Chairman Mao, Nixon later commented to one of his aides, that he was aware of Mao's imminent approach before he actually saw him. Apparently Mao's lack of personal bodily hygiene was quite overpowering. He not only smelled strongly of stale sweat, but also unmistakably of urine and faeces. Although quite evident to Nixon, Mao's body odour was never referred to by any of Mao's Chinese officials, as any criticism of the great man would never have been considered due, no doubt, to the consequences that they would later have encountered.
U sure jew?
0:04 The weak should fear the strong
jk... but you can notice the submissive posture of nixon and the seriousness of mao
Nixon is just excited and Mao Is too old and calm that can even move fast. You PPL really need to stop watching those body language videos damn...
By that time China wasn't the Giant they are today, China was another third World country but with a enormous population(potencial)
Get real weeb. Mao looked like he was going to piss himself due to Nixon's robotic stare.
Nixon visit to china ended america recognition of Taiwan as independent state
Taiwan was never recognised as "an independent state". The regime in question has called itself the "Republic of China" since 1911. That's 38 years before communist China was founded.
Taiwan was never recognised as a country, learn some history.
Not even the Taiwanese consider their home island a separate country.
An country but no one regonize it not even the us
Taiwan was china. Until mao's revolution. Taiwan didn't want to be involved with communism so they declared independence.
He had to do this to isolate the Soviet Union more. Mao was a bad man, but it was one of those lesser of two evils choices.
The Soviet Union was better than China. Mao Zedong was the most brutal dictator in history.
lmao, Mao was a billion times more brutal than Brezhnev could ever be, Mao was even more brutal than Hitler or Stalin combined, do you even know how many people died during his time?
@@dyniaz65 mostly that was famines though not direct killings
Lesser of 2 evils 😂 🤡
Wise President's of USA 1969-1974 for that years'
hahahahahahah.
Jesus Christ loves you. God is perfect, his plan shouldn't be questioned. ✝️
Jesus Christ never existed, God does not exist you are brainwashed and I hope you'll cure soon! ✮☭
Why tf are you preaching Christianity, that has nothing to do with anything in the video, Stfu fr
@@John-vu5qm you’re god damn right!
Nixon the goat 🐐🐐🐐 of diplomacy
Henry Kissinger can be seen as he was master mind of having good relationship between America and China on the basis BHR basic human respect for all. Great! Pakistan played a very important role to make it happen smoothly. Bravo Pakistan!
When two devils meet
Nixon's not a devil
Slave workers for us corporate titans
Collaborating against india.but here comes the USSR kiddos
No more brother wars.
Mao zedong is not happy
Thanks for nothing tricky Dicky
Mao and Nixon are one in the same.
Chairman Mao got him beat by a mile..Mao is responsible for the deaths of 80 million ( 80,000,000) Chinese citizens..plus MILLIONS put in gulags/ concentration camps during his reign... especially the cultural revolution...
@@paulgentile1024 😂😂😂dude omg
Nixon was an egotistical coward, and Mao was a monster of the highest degree
@@mexital1159 Nixon would have undoubtedly been Mao if he could have. He was in love with the idea of unlimited executive power and had clear authoritarian tendencies. He certainly would have been a tyrant if given absolute power.
Not to me.
Just like Trump and Kim
Yep, corrupt buffoons meet violent dictators
The U.S. allied with Stalin to beat Hitler.
@@tlome8033 That's different, they had a common enemy. I dont like "democratically elected officials" praising any dictators.
+Wiggyam Nixon met with Mao. The only thing the left does is move the goalposts. I guess you are a danger to democracy.
@@tlome8033 Implying allying with North Korea could even be done by a present day incompetent leader in an advantageous way to the country. Compared to Trump, I think Nixon at least could see past Mao's murderous atrocities and turn it into getting more economic benefits. Tell me what Trump has meaningfully done with Kim.
Sold to China
Mao🇨🇳 en Usa🇺🇲
This should be up there with Donald trump meeting Kim jong Un
Mao own son died in the korean war, bombed by the Americans, but for his people he invited Nixon in 1972 and shook his hands to create a better global relation and get his country out of decades of american sanctions, for which he was forced to implement agriculteral reforms which eventually failed. Many people blamed Mao for this disaster which lead to hunger deaths of millions, but its actually United States who have blood on their hands. Mao was on his deathbed when he invited Nixon and had terminal illness, but he gathered his energy barely able to stand on his feet, swallowed his pride and shook the hand of Nixon in front of the world with a smile. For this Mao should receive the nobel peace price, post mortum.
Thank you
At least his body is still in good condition until today. 😮😮😮
I Like how you put the entire blame on the USA
Yes and No, there had been others including Deng better than Mao in domestic and economics issue. And Deng did not have much say during Mao ruling.
主席 您改变了世界！据尼克松回忆 哪儿啊？我只改变了北京郊区的几个农村。
Mao is very brave to meet the most racist country president
2nd
FUCK IT ONE STRUGGLE
大叛徒
你是人家的什么啊，狗不配叫主人的老板叛徒
Communist! We love that boycott China for all..!
You're simply a fool.
For all? That seems communist my dude
Long Live Chairman Mao
