Driving a wedge between China and the Soviet Union was indeed Nixon's intention. The problem is
1. Sucking up to communist China and empowering it did not make moral or ethical sense.
2. It did not even make political sense. The credit for destroying the Soviet Union belongs to Reagan, not Nixon. Reagan basically ignored China during his 8 years and went after the Evil Empire through East Europe and Afghanistan. He succeeded, Nixon failed.
