Richard Nixon's "China card" refers to his strategic diplomatic approach to improving relations with the People's Republic of China in the 1970s. By engaging with China, Nixon aimed to exploit the Sino-Soviet split during the Cold War, thereby gaining leverage over the Soviet Union and enhancing U.S. geopolitical interests. His historic visit to China in 1972 opened diplomatic channels and led to significant shifts in international relations, showcasing the potential benefits of engagement over isolation. This move not only altered U.S.-China relations but also reshaped global politics.
