Ping Pong Diplomacy

President Richard Nixon’s trip to China in 1972 ended 25 years of isolation between the U.S. and the People’s Republic of China. During the week of February 21-29, the President traveled to Beijing, Hangzhou, and Shanghai - thawing relations with a country that had long been closed to the West.

Forty years later, Our Presidents will be revisiting the iconic events of Nixon in China.  Stay tuned for behind-the-scenes details about  this landmark trip. 

Listen to White House phone calls and meetings discussing Nixon’s Visit to China on iTunesU.
