China/USA: Premier Zhou Enlai (5 March 1898 – 8 January 1976) and President Richard Nixon (9 January 1913 - 22 April 1994) toast each other, 25 February 1972. President Richard Nixon's 1972 visit to China was an important step in formally normalising relations between the United States and the People's Republic of China. Between February 21-28, Richard Nixon traveled to Beijing, Hangzhou and Shanghai. Almost as soon as the American president arrived in the Chinese capital he was summoned for a quick meeting with Chairman Mao, his sole meeting with China's top leader during the trip.
