How would you describe relations between the US peoples republic of china from 1949 to 1967?

Answer 1

From 1949 to 1967, relations between the United States and the People's Republic of China (PRC) were characterized by deep hostility and ideological conflict. The U.S. viewed the PRC as a communist adversary, particularly during the Korean War (1950-1953) when the two nations were directly involved in military confrontation. Diplomatic ties were severed, and the U.S. supported Taiwan as the legitimate government of China. It wasn't until the late 1960s, particularly with Nixon's visit in 1972, that a thaw in relations began to emerge.
