The process of ‘opening up’ China began with RIchard NixOn and Dr. Henry Kissinger. Nixon said we couldn’t ‘run the world’ without China.

Commodore Perry ‘opened up’ Japan to trade and business activity in the 1850’s and we all know what that led to....

So I guess history is on its way to repeating itself with a different nation this time.

Kissinger and Nixon wanted to get help in resolving the Vietnam War by going to China.... By dealing with China and also Russia they hoped to put pressure on Hanoi to negotiate seriously...and to get Russia and China to slow down the provision of aid to North Vietnam somewhat. ........at a minimum, they sought to persuade Russia and China to encourage Hanoi to make a deal with the United States and give Hanoi a sense of isolation because their two, big patrons were dealing with us.

There were not many people there. The reception was very cool.
