自1972年毛泽东和尼克松举行了历史性的会谈之后,中美关系出现了良好的发展势头,虽因台湾问题尚未建交,但两国领导人都表现出要克服这一难题的诚意。尼克松访华时曾承诺,他将在第二届总统任期内实现中美关系正常化。 Since the historic talks between Mao Zedong and Nixon in 1972, there has been a good momentum of development in Sino-U.S. Relations. Although the establishment of diplomatic ties has not yet been established because of the Taiwan issue, the leaders of both countries have demonstrated their sincerity in overcoming this difficult issue. During his visit to China, Nixon promised that he would normalize the Sino-U.S. Relations during the second presidential term.
