Trade with china didn't start until after Nixon recognized China in 1972 after cold relations since the communist takeover in 1949. While I have my doubts that TV dinners were coming from China, there certainly _was_ trade with China. It's just that prior to Nixon's recognition of the People's Republic, "China" meant Taiwan. Only to Taiwanese. Several billion other people disagreed. Er, in the first place, there were just over a billion people in the People's Republic of China at the time. In the second, Taiwan ("Republic of China") held the seat for China in the UN. Practically every non-communist country in the world recognized the Taiwanese government as "China". That didn't change until _after_ Nixon recognized the PRC government. -- derek - Unless otherwise noted, I speak for myself, not rec.ponds.moderated moderators. |
