As demonstrated when 100,000 protesters showed up in Washington D. While the invasion itself was a successful operation it caused havoc back in the United States. Nixon had decided to invade Cambodia, which had been completely off-limits, however the Communist troops had been using it as a rest area and supply base1. However, while he was not the one who got America into Vietnam he had the important job of getting America out, a task, which would take him four years, four years of discontent in America. This was primarily due to the war in Vietnam that he didn't even get America into. Richard Nixon was an extremely unpopular president. After studying each of these, one can form a decision of whether Nixon should or should not go to Red China. This includes Nixon's popularity with America as well as the Vietnam War, which at that time had yet to be resolved, America's relationship with the Soviet Union, America's relationship with Taiwan and the Republic of China, the relationship between the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China, America's past relations with China as well as their distrust on Communism, and China's relationship with the world. However, to fully examine the decision made, one would have to look at many of the background information surrounding the voyage.

That is an interesting question to which one could offer many good reasons to both sides of the argument.
