The speech that Pres Nixon gave while overlooking the Great Wall is amazing ! Such words of grace, wisdom and diplomacy. (His children must be so proud of their father.) All leaders should speak as such. No wonder he won them over !!!!!
President Nixon is truly a Noble American Stateman, giving the world a chance of peace and prosperity. The Chinese should thank him, because his visit will change China forever.
Actually the background music at 6:31 when Zhou Enlai proposed a toast is ""大海航行靠舵手 (sea sailing depends on the helmsman)", a song that praises Mao during culture revolution.
Not gonna lie I have said it many times. If it wasn't for the Watergate scandal in 1972. I think he would have gone down as one of the best US Presidents.
Fun fact, Nixon decided to visit the great wall and said it just on the day before, It was winter and snowy back then, The chinese government gathered hundreds of people overnight to clean the snow on the road to the great wall, so that the next day Nixon's convoy could drive to the great wall safely .
Hi James, I'm glad you like it! That song was made specifically for the video. Ryan (the one who also edited the video) wrote and recorded the song to fill in for some footage that didn't have any original audio. It's an instrumental version of another song of his that has yet to be released.
@@RichardNixonLibrary is there any possibility for you to deliver this music to me via email for non commercial use. i wanna listen to it when driving😄
wow, I am very impressed with the translator. It makes me wonder in that time and age, where and how did she learn English with such accuracy and fluency
Nancy Tang, Premier Zhou's personal translator, was born in New York City, NY in the 1940s, and spent her early education in America. Sec. Kissinger once joked that Ms. Tang is eligible to run for president but he can not.
Only in this VISIT to China did RICHARD M. NIXON reveal Himself as a Statesman of high quality, which future Histories will always see as self evident. NIXON as Politician and Party Leader is another matter, not completely self evident, more gray than white with a little grayish tinted white, but darker and darker grays leading to some undefinable black areas or border lines...
Her name is 唐聞生，other 2 lady interpreters were 王海容、章含之, all were in the film too。But 3 of them dressed the same color, same dress code and the same hair styles, which might make ppl unable to distinguish them at once. 2 of "Gang 4" were in it too. Sit Just next to Premier Zhou's left, the one next to President Nixon.
Nixon's trip to China actually accomplished not very much. But the optics of it insured his landslide reelection 9 months later. Of course, he had a weak Democrat opponent I, George McGovern which also helped.
The key persons were Nixon and Chou. Chou was the front man running the show in this visit and Chou health was fine in 1972. Chou died of cancer four years after the historical meetings. Without Chou, Chinese government might not dare to go ahead staging this event.
See a lot of shooting lens's way, looking out out of China's despise, China's people who never forgot the country's destrils to bring the deep feelings, for our predecessors napped weight and move, to build a powerful motherland and glory, a most common Chinese expression, of course our cute American people can also be our friends, for the history of the history of writing a great chart.
if you use chrome google, that's easy. You could find some useful tools in its own google store by typing youtube. There will be lots of relevant results coming out. for me, I just choose the tool which has a high rank by other users
But even that's not a good comparison. (Obama in N. Korea) There is really no comparison today, because the cold war is dead & there aren't any proxy wars. Also, China's involvement in Vietnam lessened after Sino-Soviet split in 1968.
This was the beginning of the demise of manufacturing and millions of jobs in the USA How soon we forget. Thanks to Richard M. Nixon and the reckless right.

Thank you for uploading this! Such precious documentary.
There’s an old Vulcan proverb, only Nixon could go to China.
Great documentary!! President Nixon's words on the great wall are still inspirational today!!
yes. and his words come true today brother

欢迎仪式现场墙上还有打到美帝国主义了😂
the visitation of Mr President make the world calm down
Awesome video tape!
The difference between Obama compared to Nixon was that Nixon knew what he was doing.
Mr and Mrs Nixon were the second most traveled President and First Lady
What is the song in the beginning?
The Dragon is not sleeping anymore, Nixon and Kissinger always liked to play with fire.

Thankyou for uploading
The older generation who went through the great wars understood that peace is precious, unlike the stupid politicians of today.
does anyone recognize the name of the background music in the beginning of this film??it can make me have a light mood,so great it is

+KristyG in China there's a saying 'crouching tiger and hidden dragon'. Not everything is as it seems.
There are a lot of visa students who had PHD degree in varies field who came back to China in the early Days
some of those didn t survive Maos cultural revolution...

Taiwan was the key issue. USA and PRC agreed to temporarily put it aside at that time.
I can remember cleanly the time, a great time.
Nixon made the world a safer place then.

??????????? Zhou is just a average leader without Mao.

15:31 premier zhou speaks english
zhou studied in France when he was young. he can speak many language s.
@@otaaquasuki5872 Zhou only has four years to live. 😟😟😟
Good work! Zhou Enlai is the Deng Xiaoping of Mao's time.
Deng is the worst.
Wow the film condition is fantastic! China looks like North Korea back then!
China look like North Korea during culture revolution by Mao but before that in ancient time no and now modern time even better
@9:45 Wait... I thought Pat Nixon only wore respectable Republican cloth coats. . .
History might look on Nixon and give him far more credit for being a shrewd politician and statesman.
Sorry but what's that song at the beginning of the video?
From beginning till the end, only one song: "sailing the ocean counts on a steersman". Meant Chairman Mao.
he's referring to the guitar intro
Does anyone know how I can download this documentary into my laptop?? Please help if you know how

The United States is paying a price that will never be recovered for that critical mistake.

Looks like Nixon and friends had a great vacation in China on taxpayer's dime. What else did they do?
