- The United States states in its message to the People’s Republic of China that it wishes to continue the ambassadorial talks. However, they would prefer to talk in a more confined environment in order to talk about more sensitive topics. The United States government promises that only the president and a couple of his close advisors know about these meetings. The public and many other ambassadors from other countries will not be able to observe the talks. Nixon strives to resolve sensitive issues.
- In these “Oval Room meetings,” Nixon tells his reasons for wishing for contact with China and what they might discuss during their meetings. He mentions that he will still keep allegiance to Taiwan but he wants to be on China’s good side when both become a nuclear power. He says that he cannot deal with Asian affairs and exclude the 700 million people in China. With the nuclear weapons becoming a threat in several nations, Nixon wishes to avoid confrontations (such as in Korea and Vietnam) with China.
- The documented conversation between Kissinger and Chou prior to Nixon’s visits was the initial stage for relations. In it, Chou questioned Kissinger on the United States intentions on Vietnam and warned him that no relations will occur unless Taiwan is properly returned to mainland China. Although Kissinger suggests withdrawal of troops and his support for one China, he does not give an exact date in which all troops will be withdrawn. Moreover, as China panics about Japan’s strive towards Taiwan, the United States informs China that they will discourage any movements but will continue to withdraw.
- Walker warns the president that his trip to China will not help him to understand the Chinese people. Nixon will not be ready for the completely different views China has of the world and their opinions. However, Nixon, as Walker states, does have the opportunity in bringing China into the Pacific Alliance and prevent them from further spreading communism into the world. This article shows the opinion of someone from the general public.
- Contains a series of telegram exchanges between the United States and China during the Cold War Era. I used these telegrams to better understand the communication and rising tension between the United States and China.
