Chiang Is Bitter Over Nixon China Policy
Nixon’s pivot toward normalizing relations with Communist China has left Chiang Kai-shek isolated on Taiwan. The 85 year old generalissimo, long a benefactor of Nixon, lobbied against recognizing Mongolia and feared a shift in U.S. policy as Nixon’s view evolved toward playing China and Russia off one another.

Nixon ends two-destroyer patrol in Taiwan Strait signals thaw
As early as November 1969 Nixon quietly terminated the two-destroyer patrol in the Taiwan Strait to signal improved U.S. relations with Peking. Chiang Kai-shek reacted with shock and isolation, while the U.S. embassy pressed for a Nixon Chiang or Rogers Chow meeting. An intelligence note cautions Hanoi may push a regional summit to distract from Nixon’s visit. Terrorist incidents in South Vietnam rise.
