Chinese retain positive image of Nixon's legacy
(09/05/94 4:00am)
Ironically, no foreign leader is more popular in Communist China than President Richard Nixon, a rabid anti-Communist. Josef Stalin should surpass Nixon in this aspect. It is no secret, however, that Stalin did not get along with the Chinese Communist leaders. Since Stalin never visited China, Chinese people were in awe of him, but did not really like him. In contrast, Nixon enjoys popularity among the Chinese, leaders and masses alike.
