All our party and the press are talking about it this morning, what a wonder time they had. I talked to my daughter by telephone this morning and she saw the banquet on television live, at 6:00 a.m. Boston time. She the Prime Minister's toast, and was very impressed. She was very impressed, too, that I could use chop sticks. My tipping glasses with the guest and going around the tables also made a very great impression. All this was on live television, from about 6:00 to 8:00 a.m."]]> 2017-04-25 13:43:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lemab/u30m22va3y9m/wish/168102026 bannisterj https://padlet.com/lemab/u30m22va3y9m/wish/168102313 2017-04-25 13:44:05 UTC https://padlet.com/lemab/u30m22va3y9m/wish/168102313 bannisterj https://padlet.com/lemab/u30m22va3y9m/wish/168104178 2017-04-25 13:48:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lemab/u30m22va3y9m/wish/168104178 bannisterj https://padlet.com/lemab/u30m22va3y9m/wish/168105246 Nixon decided to go and visit China on February 21st, 1972. China was a communism area that were basically the enemy of the whole wars, yet he made a decision to go and take a trip to talk to their leader. Nixon went over and talked to the leader of China and discussed some issues and problems with them. He made multiple trade deals that would help America and also benefit China. Because of this, America was able to form an alliance with China and basically make them someone they can rely on, and make much peace.]]> 2017-04-25 13:51:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lemab/u30m22va3y9m/wish/168105246 lemab https://padlet.com/lemab/u30m22va3y9m/wish/168105813 Nixon Talks about how his first impression on the Prime Minister went very well.

We don't want to spend too much money. You probably took note of this. 
President Nixon: "Yes."
Prime Minister Chou: We say that in a very honest way. We don't wish to expand.
President Nixon: I understand. In terms of world peace, I would say that a strong China is in the interests of world peace at this point. I don't mean to suggest that China should change its policy and become a superpower. But a strong China can help provide the balance of power i this key part of the world - that is desperately needed. Then, too, I have a selfish reason - If China could become a second superpower, the U.S. could reduce its own armaments. (PM Chou laughs).
Prime Minister Chou: You have too much confidence in us. We don't want to.]]> 2017-04-25 14:04:11 UTC https://padlet.com/lemab/u30m22va3y9m/wish/168109986 lemab https://padlet.com/lemab/u30m22va3y9m/wish/168110645 The second source is a conversation that Nixon and the Prime Minster shared while at the meeting. Nixon tries to convince Chou to make great peace with the World, while also explaining how they should become another big super power in order to help the US in lowering their defenses knowing that they have an ally with A bigger country. Chou on the other hand explains how they do not wish to expand (communist ways) and describes how the US is giving to much trust in them, and denies the offer. However this discussion was one of the first to be talked upon in becoming an ally to the US.]]> 2017-04-25 14:05:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lemab/u30m22va3y9m/wish/168110645
