Bob Dole shaking hands with President Li Xian Nian of China, while other men watch in the background

China

Summary

During the 1960s and early 1970s, relations between the United States and China were tense. The United States coordinated an international embargo of China and prohibited U.S. citizens from visiting China. To enhance foreign relations between the two countries, Senator Bob Dole was sent to China in 1985, only 13 years after President Nixon’s historic visit.
