1972年2月,关闭20多年的中美关系的大门打开了。此后,邓小平把发展中美关系的重要意义提到新的高度,坚持不懈地加强这一方面的工作,除了身体力行,亲自参与各个领域的中美关系活动,前后几十次会见美国领导人和其他美国朋友外,还深谋远虑,发表真知灼见,指导中美关系工作的开展,为改善和发展中美关系作出了重大的历史贡献。 In February 1972, the door to China-US relations closed for more than 20 years was opened. Since then, Deng Xiaoping has raised the importance of developing Sino-U.S. relations to a new height. He has consistently and tirelessly strengthened his work in this area. He has personally participated in various Sino-U.S. relations activities in addition to his personal efforts and met dozens of times before and after meetings with U.S. leaders and others. In addition to his friends in the United States, he also thought deeply and deliberately, published his insights, guided the development of Sino-U.S. relations, and made significant historical contributions to the improvement and development of Sino-U.S. relations.
