Sino-American Relations: An Interactive Timeline

By Matt Ellison & Will Madaus

With Chris heading off to China this month, we took a look back at where our two countries have been and what we’ve done for and about each other. From Isolation to Entanglement, US-Chinese relations from first contact, through war and revolution, see China through the ages in this Radio Open Source timeline.

Incorporating text sourced from the U.S. State Department’s chronology of Chinese-American relations and from the Council on Foreign Relations, we complement the facts and figures with additional media curated from around the web.
