Improved China Position Took Time, Expert Says
By EMERSON LYNN Kansan Staff Writer
Through the power of secrecy, the United States and China broke through 10 years of negotiations to establish better relations, a University of Kansas report on China said Thursday night.
Robert Burton, director of Eastern Chinese at KU, appointed to lead new developments in U.S. China Relations, Room Room Updates, Uplink
Burton said that as the break between Russia and China became more pronounced, the Johnson Administration began to think of future relations with Russia. Proceedings were secret, he said.
In 1968, when Nixon came into office, his administration began to get positive results, he added
"THIS WAS a big step for U.S. China relations." Burton said. The United States began to treat Chinese officials with suspicion, tries rather than Communists".
Burton said that the China policy was not simply a continuation of Soviet thinking, and that he hoped the countries would have to treat it as such.
Taking advantage of bettering relations with China, Nixon set up the China meeting for February 1972. This was one of the best-kept secrets ever, Burdon said. The senators were surprised. "They conceive of what it would be like to deal with China.
The death of Stalin in 1953 had a great effect on China, Burton
said. The Chinese seemingly were released from the pressures Russia exerted and were able to learn how to break away from the Russian dominance and began to experience favorable effects of training.
RELATIONS between Russia and BELATION are as tense as ever, but Russian and Chinese terrified of the Russians, which is why the northern border of China has been sealed.
"Because of this physical border between Russia and China," Burton said, "the United States is a more logical ally.
"We have no geographical boundaries with China, and we are all confident that countries experience when geographically adjacent."
Now that the United States has accepted China as a country and not rejected it because of its ties, they must take one more step. Burton said.
"We have to get out of the routine of being the world's policeman," he said.
"I THINK that Vietnam has indicated to us that there are limitations on dominate. There are ways, excluding the military, to relate themselves."
Burton said the United States thought it could overpower anyone as long as the cause was just.
The United States was not the only country to experience difficult times in establishing relations with China, Burton said.
"Indonesia as well as France experienced turmoil. In the U.S. Joseph McCarthy was still perpetuating his anti-communist ideals. And Russia still opposed China relations," Burton said.
It was difficult for any US government to enforce foreign policy of China was, and China showed no inclination to devolve such information, he
BOTH ERTS and SKYLAB gather data concerning air, air and water pollution; mineralogy, geography, forestry, and geology
Dr. John Mock, director of the Georgia Science and Technology Commission, said in a morning news briefing that the value of ERTS is quite large."
"We need new institutional arrangements o to help state and federal agencies use the information we're getting," he said. "The old ways are no longer effective. We still in the 1914 science and technology to solve domestic problems."
