Transcription
China is one of the largest countries in the world, yet no American president had ever been there. China is one of the most populous countries in the world, yet no American leader had even talked with him in 23 years. Until Richard Nixon. President Nixon has opened the door to a new relationship between the two great powers. He has had the courage to effect a sweeping change in our foreign policy. A change that will lead to the settling of our differences through negotiation, not confrontation. The door is opened. Now the work must continue. This is why we need President Nixon. Now more than ever. A new relationship will begin.
