This visit was an electrifying event at the time, and had enormous repercussions in the ensuing decades for US-China relations and for the international order generally. What was the significance of "Nixon in China" for domestic and international politics in the 1970s? What are the enduring legacies for US-China relations today? The conference will include a wide array of experts on China, Nixon, and foreign policy as well as never-before seen footage of the historic visit taken by Nixon aide, and UCLA alum, HR Haldeman.
