Now available in the CIA’s Freedom of Information Act Electronic Reading Room: “Nixon and the People’s Republic of China: CIA’s Support of the Historic 1972 Presidential Trip”
Recently released, this collection marks the 50th anniversary of President Richard M. Nixon’s February 1972 trip to the People’s Republic of China (PRC) – a landmark event that preceded the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. It includes a subset of the materials CIA produced for President Nixon and National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger in preparation for the seven-day visit. This trip paved the way for Gerald R. Ford’s visits to the PRC in June 1972 and December 1975.
