Nixon seeks warmer ties with China amid relaxation rules
A 1969 Daily Journal item notes minor travel relaxations by the State Department allowing more U.S. citizens to visit Red China. It cites the year’s $180,000 remitted by American travelers and marks a tentative thaw in U.S. policy since 1949. The report frames this as the first glimmer of a broader Nixon effort to ease tensions with the Peking regime.
