Document 5: The White House, Memorandum of Conversation, [Participants include Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Richard Nixon, and Henry Kissinger], February 21, 1972.

The meeting which is the subject of this memcon is the first between Richard Nixon and Mao Zedong. The transcript reflects an effort on both leaders part to engage in light, complimentary, even humorous conversation before they address more serious issues. Eventually, they turn to issues such as relations with Japan, India-Pakistan, and the Soviet Union. At one point, Nixon tells Mao that they are brought together by the situation in the world as well as the recognition that a nation's "internal political philosophy"--in contrast to that nation's policy toward the rest of the world and the United States.
