Abstract

PRC became concerned that it m i g h t be next, leading it to look for s u p p o r t from other nations, including the United States. With b o t h sides interested in improved relations, the door was open to the Sino- American rapprochement of 1972. Yet Richard Nixon's trip to Beijing could have been delayed indefi- nitely. It was he who in 1967 w r o t e in the journal Foreign Affairs of the n e e d to improve relations with China.8° And it has been Nixon w h o h a s received the credit for o p e n i n g the door to better Sino-American relations. But h a d the Johnson a d m i n i s t r a t i o n m i s p l a y e d its cards, Nixon's goals vis-a-vis China likely w o u l d have proven m u c h more difficult to achieve. Mao was becoming increasingly p a r a n o i d in the decade or so prior to the beginning of the Cultural Revolution. N o t
