The
Nixon Heads to Canton Capstone of China Tour
Nixon’s Canton greeting drew tens of thousands of fans in the largest crowd of his China visit. He moved along Liberation Road, faced a pressing crowd, and nearly lost footing before returning to his limousine as security struggled to hold line. He then traveled 50 miles along the Li River and attended a Kweilin performance, with slips of fatigue noted but moments of steadiness. Traveling with Dr. Shang Teh-ting and medic Robert Dunn, the 63-year-old former president wrapped up the southern stop before departing China.
