2nd influence

So have a caught your attention yet on how Nixon is a major influence on us? Yes, no, maybe? Well here’s my last chance to convince you on how he’s a major influence on today. Let us talk about our relations with other countries such as china. How has he helped with that? What did he do? You may wonder. Well let me inform you. China and our soviet union have encountered many problems over the years and let’s just say that that hasn’t gone so well. The soviet union and china were common enemies based on they( soviet union) made china pay up front for all the weapons they recovered as well as not having any ground troops for the battles with Korea. China is a very communist country, but us America isn’t but our President Nixon found this the perfect opportunity to help. Let’s do this step by step. 1. Nixon placed the United States strategic command on highest alert to communicate with the Soviet Union that his administration would deter Americas Soviet Union nuclear attack on china. 2. Nixon and closest advisors knew that many wouldn’t like that idea toward china but he went with his intentions and signaled. 3. He planned to visit china which wasn’t expected since no American has been there since 1949. 4. A invitation was sent out to him inviting him to china. 5. he arrived a year later in February 1972 on a week long tour. When this all happened great things had came from it. Was there a treaty made between the two? No there wasn’t. But there was a simple acknowledgment of each others position and was signed. In the statement the U.S had agreed and recognized the peoples republic china as china’ government. Nixon’s visit was an ultimate success. Years later U.S ambassadors where placed in Beijing and diplomatic offices were opened in both Washington and Beijing. Succeeding with this foreign policy was considered brilliant. Without good relations with other countries there might be more nuclear weapons then limited ones.
