MONDAY,FEBRUARY 21-28 US PRESIDENT NIXON VISITS CHINA:A WEEK THAT CHANGED THE WORLD 
On Monday,February 21,1972 US President Richard Nixon arrived in Shanghai.The 1972 visit by United States President Richard Nixon to the People's Republic of China
was an important strategic and diplomatic overture that marked the culmination of the Nixon administration's resumption of harmonious relations between
the United States and mainland China after years of diplomatic isolation.
Although giving the appearance of a humanitarian gesture the US had primary two ulterior sinister motives.One was to counter the balance between the
usa and the Soviet Union.The other was for US corporations to outsource US jobs to China in order to exploit cheap Chinese labor.Both plans backfired.
In order to exploit Chinese cheap labor,China demanded the US provide them with patents and trade secrets.This resluted in China becoming the big economic
power house it is today.As far as counterbalancing the Soviet goes Henry Kissinger who served as National Security Advisor and Secretary of State under
President Richard Nixon,warned Nixon that once China becomes an economic powerhouse to improve relations with Russia and push China down.
This never happened instead the USA has acted like a bully pushing Russia and China into a very friendly relationship and it the USA who
will be going down.
