Kissinger Secret China Visit Revealed In Nixon Speech
Henry Kissinger’s clandestine trip to Peking in July 1971 remained tightly held until President Nixon disclosed it. The journey, kept from allies and public, included talks with Premier Chou En-lai and followed a prior Pakistan leg amid illness and secrecy. Nixon announced Kissinger’s talks in Peking from July 9 to 11, a surprise to many and a signal on Vietnam policy.
