Assignment: China - "The Week That Changed The World (Chinese Subtitles)

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.
１９７２年２月理查德•尼克松对中国的访问改变了历史的轨迹 － 它重新调整了全球势力的均衡，为中华人民共和国和美国两国间关系的建立打开了大门。

It was also a milestone in the history of journalism. Since the Communist revolution of 1949, a suspicious regime in Beijing had barred virtually all U.S. reporters from China. For the Nixon trip, however, the Chinese agreed to accept nearly 100 journalists, and to allow the most dramatic events — Nixon's arrival in Beijing, Zhou Enlai'swelcoming banquet, visits to the Great Wall and the Forbidden City — to be televised live.
这次访问同时也是新闻史上的一个里程碑。自１９４９年共产革命以来，对外界充满怀疑的北京政府将所有美国新闻记者拒之门外。然而为了尼克松中国之行，中方同意并接纳了１０­０名新闻记者，并且允许电视现场直播尼克松中国之行中发生的重大事件 － 例如尼克松抵京，周恩来总理欢迎晚宴，总统参观长城和故宫。

The coverage was arguably as important as the details of the diplomacy. It profoundly transformed American and international perceptions of a long-isolated China, generated the public support Nixon needed to change U.S. policy, and laid the groundwork for Beijing's gradual move to open China to greater international media coverage.
对总统之行的新闻报道可以说和这次外交之行的细节同等重要。它深刻地改变了美国以及国际社会对长期与外部世界隔离的中国的印象，为中国政府逐步对国际新闻媒体开放奠定了基­础。

While the outlines of the Nixon trip are familiar, the behind-the-scenes story of how that momentous event was covered is much less well-known. This segment of Assignment: China focuses on journalists who went with Nixon and includes interviews with those officials who sought to shape the coverage. The Week that Changed the World contains previously unreleased footage of the Nixon visit, as well as interviews with journalistic luminaries such as Dan Rather and Bernard Kalb of CBS, Ted Koppel and Tom Jarriel of ABC, Barbara Walters of NBC, Max Frankel of the New York Times, Stanley Karnow of the Washington Post, and many others.
尼克松中国之行虽然广为人知，这一历史事件是如何被报道的幕后故事却没有很多人了解。这一解析中国之旅的纪录片关注的是陪同尼克松中国之行的新闻记者，同时包含了对中美双­方试图影响新闻报道的官员的采访。改变世界的一周收纳了从未公布的尼克松中国之行的影像，以及对新闻界知名人物的访谈，如哥伦比亚广播公司的丹•拉瑟和伯纳德•卡尔布，美­国广播公司的伯纳德•卡尔布和汤姆•贾里尔，全国广播公司的芭芭拉•沃尔特斯，《纽约时报》的马克思•弗兰克尔，《华盛顿邮报》的卡史丹，以及其他知名记者。

Reported and narrated by U.S.-China Institute Senior Fellow Mike Chinoy, formerly CNN's Senior Asia Correspondent and Beijing Bureau Chief, and edited by USCI Multimedia Editor Craig Stubing, the film offers a fascinating and previously untold perspective on one of the most important historical moments of the 20th century. Clayton Dube conceived of the Assignment: China project and supervises it.

@ronnieboy3 "differing in language, opinions, color, and physical conformation; between whom and ourselves nature has placed an impassable difference" and as such had no right " to swear away the life of a citizen" or participate" with us in administering the affairs of our Government"--China never wanted 1 inch of land nor 1 oz of gold from US/West, but they were hostile against us from the start. Chinese chose communism was a reaction of this kind of hostility, not the other way around.lol

[sunmoonstargood]

@ronnieboy3, here u start making excuse for the West, as if it's all China's fault-China chose the right ideology; China sided with the wrong 1; China didn't hv smart diplomacy. Hv u read the judgment case of People vs. Hall? As early as 1954, long before China hd communism, California Suprem Ct hd ruled that Chinese was "a race of people whom nature has marked as inferior, and who are incapable of progress or intellectual development beyond a certain point, as their history has shown;" cont.

[sunmoonstargood]

@ronnieboy3, I'm afraid u don't really understand who China is. China is NOT Thailand.China is too rich, too big & too geo-politically importand to act as Thailand did. Usually, those who can survice extream hostile situation r those r too insignificant, it's not worth it, they r the exceptions.e.g.Switzland, it cd stay nuetral coz its hd nearly nothing + its geo location/high mountains. Its better to hv it as a neutral zone. Japan hd nothing either, so the bankers used it as dog to attack China

[sunmoonstargood]

@ronnieboy3, The fact is, as long as military is a backup force, whether it on China's soil or not doesn't make any difference. In Chinese, it called "Defeat enemy without war不战而区人之兵" or "No war subdue the enemy". The West wd not withdraw its army unless China's army force it out. To hv this kind of force, China hd to side with USSR. Jiang was the 1 who still hd some illusion in hoping somehow he cd out smart the west. He hated communism after he visted USSR, which is understandable.

[ronnieboy3]

@sunmoonstargood And the west would not have been so hostile either because they were paranoid with communism. They would have been satisfied with a neutral China. And China would use one superpower as a hedge against the other.

[ronnieboy3]

@sunmoonstargood A good example of smart diplomacy was Thailand. It did not have a strong military and both england and france wanted to controll it. But it's king was able play one of the other. And by doing so, it was never colonized. 

[ronnieboy3]

@sunmoonstargood As long as China does not have foreign military in its soil, no bankers can take over China regardless whether if it is mao or jiang that is in controll. If the west try to use its military to force China to concede to the bankers, then China should ally with the soviets. This is want I mean by play one superpower of the other, but avoid getting into a confrontation with any of them. A good leader knows how to use diplomacy to protect this nation against foreign agression.

[sunmoonstargood]

@ronnieboy3 u probabely right that both jiang and mao wanted the best for China at heart. However, if u read "The empire of the city" by E. Knuth (u can download for free), all the world hd/hv being controlled by this so-called International Financiers=today they r Wall Street Bankders; then, they were Bank of England & Rothechild families circle. Jiang was totally controlled by them regardless his intention. Mao believed that China cd only be saved by breaking the ties with those bankers.

[ronnieboy3]

@sunmoonstargood China ended up with the worst option. That is hostility with both superpowers. The soviets actual approach the americans to discuss an join nuclear strike on China. Even now the most important foreign policy for China is to prevent the US and Russia gang-up on China. I think we as Chinese were very luck that another devastating war did not fall upon the motherland.

[ronnieboy3]

@sunmoonstargood There is an old saying "If a mouse gets in between a fight between two elaphants, the mouse gets squished". China was very closed to being nuked by the soviets. A good leader does not let his emotions dictate decisions. I think his hatred of the west got the better of him. At that time China was caught between the west and the soviets and it had only few options. Side with the west, side with the soviets, be neutral, or be hostile with both. China ended up with the worst cont.
