History

Historical Context

In February 1972 President Richard Nixon traveled to Beijing, shaking hands with Premier Zhou Enlai and issuing the Shanghai Communiqué that ended U.S. isolation of the People’s Republic of China. The visit leveraged the Sino-Soviet split and opened trade, providing a diplomatic template that President Donald Trump and Xi Jinping cite in extending their 2025-2027 trade truce.
