Assignment: China - "The Week That Changed The World"

- Richard Nixon's visit to China in February 1972 changed the course of history - reshaping the global balance of power and opening the door to the establishment of relations between the People's Republic and the United States.
It was also a milestone in the history of journalism. Since the Communist revolution of 1949, a suspicious regime in Beijing had barred virtually all U.S. reporters from China. For the Nixon trip, however, the Chinese agreed to accept nearly 100 journalists, and to allow the most dramatic events - Nixon's arrival in Beijing, Zhou Enlai's welcoming banquet, visits to the Great Wall and the Forbidden City - to be televised live.
Classroom use of this video is permitted. We would appreciate feedback from viewers. Please write to us at uschina@usc.edu.
The coverage was arguably as important as the details of the diplomacy. It profoundly transformed American and international perceptions of a long-isolated China, generated the public support Nixon needed to change U.S. policy, and laid the groundwork for Beijing's gradual move to open China to greater international media coverage.
While the outlines of the Nixon trip are familiar, the behind-the-scenes story of how that momentous event was covered is much less well-known. This segment of Assignment: China focuses on journalists who went with Nixon and includes interviews with those officials who sought to shape the coverage. The Week that Changed the World contains previously unreleased footage of the Nixon visit, as well as interviews with journalistic luminaries such as Dan Rather and Bernard Kalb of CBS, Ted Koppel and Tom Jarriel of ABC, Barbara Walters of NBC, Max Frankel of the New York Times, Stanley Karnow of the Washington Post, and many others.
Reported and narrated by U.S.-China Institute Senior Fellow Mike Chinoy, formerly CNN's Senior Asia Correspondent and Beijing Bureau Chief, and edited by USCI Multimedia Editor Craig Stubing, the film offers a fascinating and previously untold perspective on one of the most important historical moments of the 20th century. Clayton Dube conceived of the Assignment: China project and supervises it.
I remember watching the news on the trip as it was happening. Little did I imagine that 35 years later I would be walking the streets of Beijing while on a trip!

Now you, along with other Americans, enjoy the aftermath of this week's change: the commie devil's virus COVID-19.
Important historical documentary.
Great video to show visions from both nations.
i still remember the moment i was watching the picture of Mao shaking hands with Nixon on the front page of the people's daily, on a newspaper wall in a remote part of Inner Mongolia, i was a year 2 primary pupil then. back home i asked my father who was Nixon, my father told me Nixon was the No. one reactionary in the world, which further puzzled me
"The ballet was, was, of course, as , as..."
China is a great country, a truly great civilisation. Nixon and Kissinger made a great service to humanity by bringing China to the international community where it should have a stronger impact with its wisdom on resolving the problems we all face.
I know it has been 5 years since your comment. I hope you are still alive, because that was an intelligent comment
I truly hope that Americans 🇺🇸 and Chinese 🇨🇳 can come together. Reflect and look back at what history have brought 2 great nations to peaceful cooperation. Obviously, it was a monumental moment for both countries and the best interest of both nations to make this decision. I wish US and China especially the Americans can think it over... the world would be a much better place if 2 of the greatest economic power and join hands working together. Chinese actually adore and love Americans so I hope in return that Americans would condemn all the asian hate and racism going on in the US. God bless America and God bless China... God bless the world!
Very well done. Unbiased and believable stories. Indeed, it was a week that had a profound impact on the modern history of the world. Thank you all those who contributed to this documentary.

The excitement is still felt after these many years. Great adventure for both sides. I simply admire Zhou the Premiere. It must have been one of his great moments. But he later had a tough time from his colleagues and Mao himself for being surrendering to the US. Politicians are not liked the world over, but some did have a vision and they worked on it and made things happen.
great video and very helpful as a source, thnx
And here's the beginning of the loss of the USA's manufacturing base. ...
.....because of U.S. Corporate greed for cheap labor and higher profits !!!
I have a question, do u want to pay lets say 30 percent more for everything for US to manufacturing goods locally? I'm just curious.
Truthfully , the manufacturing base of America moved overseas in the early 80's, when China opened its doors to Foreign Corporations for business .
You have to remember the context. This was the pale of the Cold War. Nobody was thinking about manufacturing. They were trying to contain the Soviet Union, prevent a nuclear war!
Idiot nationalistic comment. You are the epitome of ignorance.
The leaders with the vision from both countries changed the world for the next decades and century to come. What a time in our recent history, I mean world history.
As I noted in my comment, Henry Kissinger came up with the requirement for the one-child rule in exchange for the United States manufacturing base after giving radio television industry to Japan for unfettered access to Japan airspace bomb the hell out of Vietnam and Cambodia. The infanticide that resulted as we Implement vaginal regulations here....
As a Chinese, I am very grateful for US to accept us in the international community. Without president Nixon and his government, I would never be here as a Canadian permanent resident.
It is all thanks to his foresight that 1 billion people got to interact with the outside world and got better chances and opportunities in their lives.
Thanks Richard Nixon. No matter how Chinese government want to persuade us not to, we will forever remember the gesture that gave 1 billion people a new hope.
This video makes me proud to be Chinese and a Trojan. What a timeless and invaluable piece of footage, with nuances of the visit being shared by reporters that most people had no idea about. Very interesting to learn about that one of the motives of the trip was campaigning on TV for the 1972 election, and that print media were playing second fiddle to TV. You can see partisan divides within the media team and Nixon's dislikes for NYT and Washington Post because of their liberal points of view. These images of my country from the past were simply surreal, and we have come very far from where we were when this meeting took place. Barbara Walters getting the cold shoulder in a male-dominant profession also showed how different the USA was in 1972. China is obviously a very different place nowadays (bears almost no resemblemce to this video), and with its new status comes a new set of challenges. I have no doubt that cooperation with the US to solve the two countries' common challenges beats throwing accusations and finger-pointing. The two great countries should put their differences and political games aside to tackle challenges like income inequality, corporate social responsibility, fiscal health, and much more. All in all, this video is a journalistic treasure and should be seen by anyone interested in China's foreign policy.
Great to see some fellow Chinese here. Yes, corporate social responsibility is certainly one of the things the two countries can work on together. I am quite confident that things will eventually work out well, as most Chinese don't take the US as their enemy as much as they have done before the Nixon visit. Maybe it takes some time and another pair of statesmen like Zhou and Nixon, to make this happen.
I lived in China 12 years and all Americans who have not been , should visit if possible. Pics were better than a lot of verbiage for this particular trip. Even if someone from another country speaks English, they use phrases different than Americans. I look back and realize that more and more. But when you learn the culture you understand better whet people are saying.

"The week that changed me"
..the military band really nailed the star spangled banner. 56:47
50 years ago.. how time fly’s
It happened almost 50 years ago. I'm excited to see China in the view of America.
I remember this vividely...back in a simpler time when you knew who your friends and enemies were.
Extraordinary Foreseeing !
'foresight' is the correct word :)
Anyone else think Nixon is an underated president ?
The NERVE of these reporters to complain about their access crap.
Jin, Chen,
I hope you're right.
-dlj.
Truly visionary.
Question: How you you prefer this video cited?
35 minutes in they mention Barbara Walters' interpreter getting in trouble for doing an interview where she turned the camera on him and he said he couldn't be interviewed. I would love to know more about that incident.
ATravLedLife He was sent to labor camp for re-education
read her book Audition.
Can we have mutual respect to live peacefully as we have done 50 years ago?
Today we will have very hard time to find some people like very best, knowledgeable Premier Zhou and president advisor Dr Henry Kissinger.
The reason the USA took Pakistan side during the 1971 India Pakistan war was because the USA wanted help from Pakistan to get close to China.
At *3:40* you can see Pakistan International Airlines.
President Yahya personally offered that plane to fly Henry Kissinger secretly from Islamabad to China and establish contact.
How much have relationships changed since then

Thanks!!
👏🌹🙏 What a amazing video !!
🇳🇵Love from Nepal !!!
China should put up a statue of President Nixon in Beijing for opening up China and make China great again.
China is great despite Nixon. But this was a great moment in our relations. I would like to sit the leaders of both countries in front of an old TV with an old VCR and make all of them watch this. China and the USA are both great nations. Together we can conquer the fucking galaxy.
wow watching the clip where they're in the basketball field reminds me of North Korea and their foreign affair.
I like the name of the plane saying Ni Hao Two 你好二 in 13:29
二的人都在你好二这架航班上
31:32 I just love Nixon’s answer to this question about what he thought of the wildly pro-communist ballet he’d just watched
“The ballet was uh.... ..... ...was uh.......uh .... ...had it’s message”
Could I upload it on Chinese Internet？I truely hope that more Chinese people can watch it.
You will be in jail
And they say JFK was soft on Communism...
Heaven bless China! “In seven days comes the Return." (I Ching) 700 years a climax.
Zhou Dynasty, 841 BC, inception of Gonghe Regency (Joint Harmony), 1st golden dynasty.
Han Dynasty, 141 BC, heydays of Emperor Wu of Han, 2nd golden dynasty.
Tang Dynasty, 627 AD, reigns of Zhenguan and Kaiyuan, 3rd golden dynasty.
Ming Dynasty, 1368 AD, 7 Voyages of Zheng He, 4th golden dynasty far surpassing Han and Tang.
People’s Republic of China, 2069 AD, Chinese Cultural Renaissance, world harmony.
At least they played the National anthem nicely
World Peace under Heavens Amen
*3:42* the aircraft says Pakistan International Airlines because the trip was done via Pakistan in 1971 and President Yahya offered his personal plane to take Kissinger to China
20:30- Journalists expected a parade thrown for them!! They couldn't understand that man who was just out for a walk...
Arguably a presidential trip to mars would be less important unless the humans living on Mars by then have rebelled and he's there for peace talks or something :D
Dammit Nixon why'd you have to upgrade Forrest Gump from that cheap motel to the 5 star Watergate hotel?
Johnson never could not have done that. He did other tasks.
Remember when presidents were stately?
Is this true: Nixon, sounds/looks more like a politician/statement, while today’s presidents look like people in streets?
Great point. Today we have used car salesmen instead of statesmen.
Sino-American relationship is OVER!
It was always a relationship that was screwed up. China wanted something the US wanted something but both wanted different things. It was never good just pretend.
Forrest Gump was there lol 😆
If there's an USC U.S.-North Korea Institute we all know they'll be gettin busy for next month's meeting.
Only thing Nixon did right in his career.
Yep.
Chairman of the National Government of the republic of China ( Tai Wein ) Chiang Kai-shek, his wife Soong Mei-Ling is the Sister of Soong Ching-ling, The wife of SunYet-sen ( the father of China) She serviced the Communists China and became the joint Vice President of the People's Republic of China With Dong Biwu from a959 to 1972 and Honorary President in 1981 Just before she die. The older of 3 sister Soong Ai-Ling married to the richest man in China. Dr. Kung Hsiang-his H.H.K. a Banker and Politician of KMT from 1938 to 1945..
excellent world wide leader, the week really changed china live
The Nixon never appreciated even today
But edging its providential purpose... God was watching.... And Providence prevail...... There will be peace and harmony and cooperation throughout the planet..... Emergence of Silk Road, one road initiative crossing bridges, ideological divide, culture and all
for all....
We expect a thousand years of peace.... Jesus' unfinished mission.
Disappointed. This was nothing than a reporter's interview forum. And Dan Rather has done for journalism what Lee Harvey Oswald did for Jack Kennedy.
Joey Jamison LHO had nothing to do with jkfs brains being blown out idiot.
You're the one who's an idiot. And a Fucking one at that!
Joey Jamison proof you fucking idiot? Oh, that magic bullet....lmao.. Joey brainlesson
What did Lee Harvey do for JFK?
Both of the sides made the right decisions.
William Rogers got cut out of it
That's why Kennedy should have lived. Today, 40 plus years later, we know Nixon's mistake. Kissinger is to blame.
Horse shit comment.
China was in the throes of the Cultural Revolution at the time.
PRC's lucky # is 9. Any significant date or data related to PRC is 9. 30 years is small change, 60 years is big change, that's how we count using ancient Chinese calender. And its Five Element's qi is wood (east), Mao Zedong literally Mao water east.
In 1919, the Chinese people suffered.
In 1949, the Chinese people stood up.
In 1979, the Chinese people becoming rich.
In 2009, the Chinese people took off.
In 2039, the Chinese people is peaceful and content.
In 2069, world harmony.
Pivot Spiritual 2019: China starts fucking up the world.
The world could be all red, the U.S. population could be 1 billion now.
The United States needs to get rid of the endless Vietnam War, needs China to reduce aid, both China and the United States need to fight againest Soviet Union。美国需要从越战脱身，需要中国切断援助，中美都需要对抗苏联。
13:28 landing in Beijing with an airplane that says 你好二 ahaha it means “Hello Number 2”, but an alternate meaning would be “you’re so two”, calling someone a “two” in Beijing is a slang for stupid.
It’s called “ by the number “, you #1 and I number #2. .........#10 is bad, least that’s the way of Vietnamese.
LOL! Electric socks! Man! Did not know such thing exist!!!
The Chinese people were made to endure her horrific creations for years. It is not a bad thing she met her nasty end.
America wanted so much to open up China.
How China has blossomed. But now, somehow, America doesn't like that so much.
China can't go back to what it was. The genie is out of the bottle.
What does America want now? And what does it want for China?
America is like Professor Henry Higgins and China, Eliza Doolittle, in George Bernard Shaw's famous play, Pygmalion (which inspired the beautiful movie, "My Fair Lady").
Professor Higgins enabled the emancipation of Ms Doolittle. But after she has blossomed, he is uncertain of his feelings towards Ms Doolittle and her new stature in life. In Pymalion's many stage performances, the world has watched two versions of its final chapter. Shaw has consigned Ms Doolittle to a happy life without Professor Higgins. But many of his audience desires to see them live together happily ever after.
How prophetic, Shaw's Pygmalion!
Which version of the Pymalion final chapter will we see for America and China?
Nice analogies but the US will eventually have to admit the inevitable, the pupil always passes the teacher and eventually flies away, on to discover new worlds, and a pupil to close the circle...
The week that started to push the world to the PIT!. Damn it!
Money pit~~~~ Damn shit!
Horse SHIT! Every leader in China, USA needs to remember this. Back then we had statesmen. Today both countries are run by salesmen. They should be forced to watch this and take notes.
你好二 😄
Honestly, US did modernized China. US offered the technical system. China did work hard absorbed the whole thing except political system. Vietnam is following the same way.
This story happened in the Mao term. Mao is the most anti US man on the world. But he chosen to join US against USSR.
And look at them now!
He-Mao, like every other Chinese leader used the west and the west was foolish enough to buy into it. Nixon was a disgrace & left in shame. He earned it.
来看周总理
It will be so cool if 周总理 can see his country now. Many of them helped our country moved forward in all difficult times. My salute! from an old KMT.

WeAre America nomattter what
Trump must hate Nixon…
Trump does not care about the country but his own gain. He got the operating licence of Trump towers in china after he became the US president.
Why? Nixon only did what Trump himself preached: Met his then adversary Mao face-to-face in order to facilitate a détente (like Trump's meetings with Putin and Kim Jong Un) so that he could decrease US military engagement abroad which were draining much needed resources at home. It was a perfectly Trumpian thing which Nixon did with Mao - and with far greater success than Trump's attempts because Nixon, unlike Trump, knew both how to choose his subordinates and how to keep the media at an arm's length. That's why Nixon succeeded with Mao where Trump failed with Putin and Kim Jong Un.
@@neuralvibes Trump was right to try and engage adversaries. Wrong to treat half of his own people like enemies.

Let’s play a game. Who can point out all the Wumao in the comments😂
Who is responsible for the one child policy in China? Henry Kissinger. Will give you lots of jobs to put people to work but it's obvious you have a population problem (with the potential to have an army greater than the total population of the United States) answer part of the deal is that you have to implement a one child policy to bring your population to a more manageable number with a higher income per capita. No doubt they had already bought stock at record low prices and medical supply companies that produced ultrasound machines we shipped as fast as we could make them to China and to India. Infanticide and the murder of millions of unwanted women and excess boys. Nixon gave our electronics Industry to Japan and the rest of our Industries to China, in exchange for access to Vietnam that we could bomb and bomb it and Cambodia and Southeast Asia as the CIA smuggled heroin into the United States.
Is it co-incident, the worldwide economy started declining in 1970s?
allgoo19 dude during the 90s western economies flourished
YOU ARE BETRAY VNCH
The title of this video is misleading. This is all about the press accompanying Nixon to China.
What about the substance of that trip? Proposals and counter proposals. Concessions and counter concessions. Trade-offs and trade-offs. It was said that Nixon was mainly about ending the Vietnam war. And the US retreated in a very humiliating defeat and the communists won in Vietnam. China was about Taiwan and China succeeded in isolating Taiwan.
It is now 2015, and China is the second largest economy of the world and working hard to be number one. The communist dictatorship still rule China. It is bullying its neighbors in Asia while expanding its influence all over the world.
Indeed, many still don't realize that communists use deception, lies, blackmail, intimidation and even murder and war in order to achieve their goal of total world domination to establish a fake heaven on earth called Utopia.
Thanks to Mr. Nixon and the great America. And also thanks to Mr. John Lennon's "Imagine".
国民党在大陆的失败是因为国军面对强大的日军进行了长达十几年的浴血抗战，造成国军大量失血，付出了巨大的牺牲，几乎被打残，再加上后来美国的左翼民主党政府极端愚蠢的对华政策，抛弃了国民党政府，甚至对国民政府实行武器禁运，进一步削弱了国军的实力。而毛共势力借国民党艰难抗日的时机养精蓄锐，独自坐大，同时又勾结日本人破坏国军抗日，并一直得到苏俄这个邪恶的外来势力的全方位支持，才篡夺了政权，所以可以说中共是利用日本侵华导致中华民族内忧外患、国破家亡的机会才篡夺了政权，发的是国难财，是一个地地道道的祸国殃民的汉奸卖国政权。而且打仗靠的是彭德怀、林彪、刘伯承这些职业军人以及俄国军事教官和顾问的调教和指导，和毛泽东那个窝囊废没有半毛钱关系，毛那个窝囊废连枪都不会拿，却还要恬不知耻地意淫什么百战百胜的军事家，根本就是滑稽透顶。对中共这个汉奸卖国政权来说，正是因为日本侵华，加上张学良那个白痴发动西安事变，才挽救了革命挽救了党，否则毛匪早就被蒋介石剿灭了，根本轮不到他当儿皇帝，更轮不到习二胖来冒充毛二，这就是为什么毛贼多次当着日本人的面感谢日本侵华，可见其汉奸卖国贼的嘴脸暴露无遗。
Here is what the US reporters in China saw:

@@rosesprog1722 It's irrelevant, those so called reporters know nothing about Chinese history, they are just brainwashed by Chinese communist propaganda machine. All they could do was to repeat the nonsense nobody in their right mind would believe.
@@QarlonRoad I don't think so, the were the only Americans who ever cared for the Chinese people, they lived with them, they knew them. they never took for Mao, they only saw he made more sense AT THAT TIME, than Chiang Kai-Shek. Still, everything I know about the nationalists is bad, not much better about Mao but as soon as he died things started to change in China but their biggest problem was always the same: US intervention.
@@rosesprog1722 All those tragedies such as ❝三反五反❞, ❝反右❞, ❝三年大饥荒❞ , and ❝十年文革浩劫❞ happened under Mao Zedong's rule, not under Chiang Kai-shek's rule, how can you say Mao is better? You know nothing about Chinese history, you don't even know Zhou Enlai actually died before Mao.
