I'd disagree because Nixon made China 🇨🇳 what it is today that was totaly unnecessary. He also set the trump template for trying to overthrow the government. Nixon did some good but to me he is the architect of the conservative movement. It is just my opinion though.

china moved 400 million people out of poverty in 40 years, thats the greatest economic and social achievement in human history. Nixon helping a bit with that was his greatest achievement as president

Eh, not really, almost all of chinas rural population live without utilities like water or healthcare. It’s economy is collapsing and lots of people died for not wanting to play ball.

Bill Clinton pushing China’s entry into the WTO is what made China what it is today.
