Nixon visits red china
President Richard Nixon was the first U.S. president to visit China since no president had visited there when a Communist government took power. in 1972 Nixon went for a better relationship with China and to despite historical tensions , specifically the Cold War and China’s growing tension with the Soviet Union, which at the time was one of America’s greatest enemy so Nixon involved Kissinger,via a secret trip to Beijing to secure an invitation from Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai for Nixon to visit so the invitation came and he immediately met with his old Cold War-rival Mao. Nixon's trip did not immediately normalize relations with China. That came in 1979, but it did open the door for an American-Chinese relationship that ultimately helped end both the Vietnam War and the colossus of the Soviet Union.
