U.S. FOREIGN POLICY AND CHINA U.S. Foreign Policy Toward China

This is an excerpt from the paper...

This research paper summarizes the historical background of American foreign policy toward China, the present state of relations between the United States and China and recommendations for the future. China and the United States have dealt with each other for more than two centuries. American foreign policy has fairly consistently supported the emergence of a stable, less impoverished, less authoritarian and friendly China. Often, those policy hopes were not firmly grounded in Chinese reality, but rather reflected a peculiarly American view of how China should conduct its affairs.

Chinese border." 1971-1988. The visits by Kissinger and President Richard Nixon to Beijing in July 1971 and February 1972 represented a new phase in American policy, the opening to China, which led to full normalization of relations during the administration of President Jimmy Carter. Traditionally a hawk on China policy, Nixon signaled a change when he said in an article in October 1997: "taking the long view, we cannot afford to leave China forever outside the family of nations." By opening up a dialogue with Mao and Zhou Enlai, Nixon and Kissinger sought to play the Chinese card, -- i.e to take advantage of the Sino-Soviet schism and thereby to induce the Soviet Union and the PRC to be more cooper
