Episode 53: The China Blunder of President Tyler
In 1845, President John Tyler ratified the first U.S. treaty with China: the Treaty of Wanghia. Almost 180 years later, this little-known treaty is a tough lesson on how China views the U.S. and why the CCP willingly takes advantage of U.S. trade and technology for its dystopian ideology. Learn how the first U.S. Minister to China and a Secretary of State made incomplete assumptions about Chinese philosophy and why Chinese history and culture should matter in U.S. foreign policy decision making.
