SEE PHOTO(s) - The outer 4 pages (2 leafs) of an original NEWSPAPER, the New York Times dated Dec 16, 1978. This original newspaper (front and back pages only) contains a bold banner headline, photos, and news coverage announcing that the US and Communist CHINA have established diplomatic relations for the first time since the Communists took over in China in 1949.

US relations with China began slowly until the 1845 Treaty of Wangxia. The US opposed spheres of influence by outside powers by promoting the Open Door Policy after 1900. It joined the powers in suppressing the Boxer Rebellion. Washington efforts to encourage American banks to invest in Chinese railways was unsuccessful in the 1900s. President Franklin Roosevelt made support of China against Japan a high priority after 1938. The US was allied to the Republic of China during the Pacific War against Japan (1941–1945). Washington tried and failed to negotiate a compromise between the Nationalists and Communists in 1945–1947. After the victory of Mao Zedong's Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Mainland China during the Chinese Civil War, relations soured. The US and China fought in an intense but localized undeclared war 1950–1953 in the Korean War. The US continued to recognize the Republic of China in exile on Taiwan as the legitimate government of China, and blocked the PRC's membership in the United Nations until President Richard Nixon's 1972 visit to China marked an unexpected reversal of positions. On January 1, 1979, the US established diplomatic relations with the PRC and recognized it as the sole legitimate government of China; at the same time, it terminated diplomatic relations with the Republic of China, which continues to de facto and independently govern Taiwan to this day, albeit often simply as Taiwan. The political status of Taiwan continues to be a major strain on China-US relations.
