Question

What was likely one of the strategies

that Nixon had in mind when trying to
ease tensions between the U.S. and
China?

Answer 1

Nixon's 1972 visit to China ushered in a new era of U.S.-China relations and effectively removed China as a Cold War foe. The Nixon administration signed the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with the Soviet Union and organized a conference that led to the signing of the Helsinki Accords after Nixon left office.
