NEED HELP!: Have you read Nixon and Mao: The Week That Changed The World?
I have a paper to write by wed and I really dont have time to read this entire book. If anybody read it can you kind of summarize it up. I have to include the answers to these questions in my summary:
What made the world represented by Nixon and Mao so far apart?
Besides the political differences, what was the most difficult barrier the two world leaders, and there staff, had to overcome in order to cooperate with each other?
Why does Macmillan(Writer of the book) assert that the week Nixon spent in China changed the world?
How can this book relate to the issues of globalization.
Also if anybody was alive and old enough to understand when Nixon visited china please explain your personal thoughts on the matter.
Whether I pass this class really depends on my grade on this paper. I would not ask for help unless I was sure I needed it. If anybody helps thank you so much.

(I can't believe I said that
They were world apart for the main Reason that China was Marxist and America was in a cold war against the Soviet union. However this was around the time of the sino soviet split so China and Russia weren't exactly allies either.
A big issue was how could Nixon meet with Mao while still appearing to be tough on communism. This is as well as Chinese involvement in conflicts like Korea and Vietnam made the situation between the 2 powers tense.
This led to the creation of our economic partnership with China. before Nixons visit there was no cooperation between the 2,
This is why it changed the world then and today and is a big reason i think Nixon was a great president. First I'll ask you this. Why are America and China not at war? Because neither country can do it because our economic dependence on each other makes it impossible.
Another thing to keep in mind is how the improving Sino-American relations put pressure on the USSR at the time and I can into that more if you want.
Going to China dosnt make you tough on Communism in fact most anti communists were pissed about the visit. It opened the door to how we rely on each other economically now. Isolationism has nothing to do with why there isn't war. It has to do with the fact that their economy would collapse immediately and this is because of Nixons visit which normalized relations between the 2 powers. Of course 1 week didnt create it but it laid the foundation to all this.
