Website Spotlight: Nixon's China Game


Website URL: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/china/

The parts of this website which I find particularly useful are the following:

I. The Film & More

Interview Transcripts with program participants. Note the interview with the Foreign Secretary of Pakistan.

II. Special Features

Worthwhile is the interview with Henry Kissinger as well as the brief sketch of the visit.

III. Timeline

Wow! What a richly-developed detailed timeline of U.S.-China relations.

IV. Maps

Excellent interactive map.

V. People & Events

Chou En-Lai's sketch is intriguing.

Your students will enjoy the material about "ping- pong diplomacy."

VI. Teacher's Guide

Make your choice from several wonderful suggestions.


On my Learning Professor wiki, this website fits within the following U.S. History survey course module:
