Nixon’s "Ice-breaking" Visit to China

On February 21, 1972, U.S. President Richard Nixon and his wife, accompanied by Secretary of State William Rogers and Henry Kissinger, adviser to the president for national security affairs, arrived in Beijing, marking the beginning of a normalization process for relations between China and the United States.

Chairman Mao Zedong paid special attention to Nixon's visit. Immediately after Nixon finished his luncheon following his arrival, Mao met with the American guests in his study. The two leaders had a


candid exchange of views on major issues of common concern. Substantive talks on the international situation and bilateral relations, lasting four days in Beijing, were held by Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai and Nixon, Kissinger and some other officials. On February 26, accompanied by Zhou, Nixon and his wife left Beijing for Hangzhou. On February 27, still accompanied by Zhou, Nixon and his wife arrived in Shanghai. They left China for the United States the following day.


On February 28, 1972, the historic Shanghai Communiqué was issued by the People's Republic of China and the United States of America. It has been of great significance for Sino-U.S. relations.

Both Nixon's visit to China and the Shanghai Communiqué became milestones in Sino-U.S. relations, laying a foundation for the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries and further development of bilateral relations.
