Nixon’s brother visits Wofford College for talk

SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) — The brother of the late President Richard Nixon is visiting Wofford College in Spartanburg, to talk about U.S.-Chinese relations.

Edward C. Nixon is visiting the school Thursday night and will discuss his recent trip to China, retracing his brother’s historic trip 40 years ago.

He will meet with about a dozen Wofford students from the school’s Chinese language and studies program before the evening address.

Nixon was honored during the recent trip at a state dinner that included the daughter of the late Chinese leader Mao Zedong.

President Nixon’s visit in 1972 helped set the stage for the establishment of full diplomatic relations between the United States and the People’s Republic of China in 1979.
