You’re old enough to know better than that. You know what the cold war was like and how China counter-balanced the U.S.S.R. Why would you even say that?

Nixon opened the door on a closed society enigma. He didn’t institute trade agreements to gift our complete patent database to China, and ship off tens of millions of job to it. He didn’t finance the rise of China to become our main adversary for decades to come?

Clinton, Bush II, and Obama did these things. Nixon wasn’t responsible for them.

He didn’t give China our top level nuclear and missile technology secrets.

You know that.
