“Assignment-China: The Week That Changed The World”

AmCham China is pleased to invite you to an afternoon film screening of the new documentary "Assignment-China: The Week That Changed The World."

Richard Nixon's visit to China in February 1972 changed the course of history – reshaping the global balance of power and opening the door to the establishment of relations between the People's Republic and the United States.

Reported and narrated by US-China Institute Senior Fellow Mike Chinoy, formerly CNN's Senior Asia Correspondent and Beijing Bureau Chief, Mr. Chinoy will be at the screening to answer questions. The film includes interviews with reporters who made the trip and former officials to tell the story of one of the most important historical moments of the 20th century.

This new documentary was recently covered in the International Herald Tribune:
