Robert Garcia to attend a reception to celebrate the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and the People's Republic of China, signed by the first US ambassador to the People's Republic of China, Leonard Woodcock, as well as Garcia's seating card from the event.
President Jimmy Carter worked closely with Deng Xiaoping, then the paramount leader of China, to establish formal diplomatic relations between the two countries in 1979. This historic diplomatic step allowed for increased economic and cultural exchanges, helping open China to the world and laying the groundwork for its modernization. Both leaders shared a pragmatic approach to diplomacy, which enabled them to navigate the ideological differences between their nations and focus on mutual benefits. A remarkable dual-signed piece commemorating the historic 'China Breakthrough,' and the only known item signed by both Jimmy Carter and Deng Xiaoping.
