One of the outstanding policies of President Richard Nixon was to begin the opening of doors of communication between the US and the Peoples Republic of China in 1972. This was an important visit. Nixon was the first US president to visit China. At the time many politicians whether Democrats or Republicans did not like this as the Cold War was in full force and China was solidly a communist nation. Despite the critics, Nixon's visit was a historical one and was the first step in a long process of recognizing China. It was one of President Nixon's outstanding achievements in US foreign policy.
