Supplied note: "The first U.S. president to visit China, Nixon [... established] a new political relationship with the PRC after decades of mutual estrangement. The highlight of Nixon's trip was his meeting with Communist Party Chairman Mao Zedong but its substance lay in a series of almost-daily [21-28 February 1972] extended conversations with Premier Zhou Enlai. [...] Once highly classified [...] all but three of the documents were released in their entirety. Significant excisions appear in the Nixon-Zhou discussions of Taiwan, Japan, South Asia, and the Soviet Union." Note: A series of gif-images of the original conversation memoranda.
