China's Foreign Policy Part 3, 1965-1975...

THE SOCIALIST PROGRAM
About this episode

Today's episode is the third in a multi-part series that takes an in-depth look at the history of China's foreign policy. We discuss how Chinese foreign policy shifted after the Cultural  Revolution. This culminated with China and the U.S. under the Nixon administration forging a new alliance that reshaped global politics.

Brian is joined by Kenneth Hammond, a Professor of East Asian and Global History at New Mexico State University and an activist with the organization Pivot to Peace.
