Record of Historic Richard Nixon-Zhou Enlai Talks in
Feb 1972
National Security Archive, The George Washington University, Washington DC, USA
Supplied note:
"The first U.S. president to visit China, Nixon [...
established] a new political relationship with the PRC after decades
of mutual estrangement. The highlight of Nixon's trip was his meeting
with Communist Party Chairman Mao Zedong but its substance lay in a
series of almost-daily [21-28 February 1972] extended conversations
with Premier Zhou Enlai. [...] Once highly classified [...] all but
three of the documents were released in their entirety. Significant
excisions appear in the Nixon-Zhou discussions of Taiwan, Japan, South
Asia, and the Soviet Union."
