There is no one in sight in American politics who seems likely to match Nixon in his knowledge of foreign affairs or awareness of the requirements of statesmanship and can break the ice and improve relations with China at present.
Charles W. Freeman Jr., former senior U.S. diplomat and former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs, said that if the United States persists in confrontation, it will find itself increasingly isolated.

BEIJING, May 10 (Xinhua) America s latest policies toward China, including the trade war, will prove self-defeating, said former senior U.S. diplomat Charles W. Freeman Jr. in an article in the East Asia Forum online research platform Sunday.
The trade war launched by the United States has backfired, said Freeman, who argued that U.S. farmers, companies and families are paying the price by losing the Chinese market, profits and jobs.
The country can expect job losses of 320,000 by 2025 and a gross domestic production 1.6 trillion U.S. dollars less than it would have been, he said.
