April 10, 1971 China Ping Pong Diplomacy
1971 : In an effort to build better relations between the U.S. and China a US table tennis team begins a week long visit to the People's Republic of China (PRC) at the invitation of China's communist government. Webmaster note - As soon as I read this I realized the significance of the Table Tennis in the movie "Forrest Gump" which I always wondered how it fit in with all the other major events from the time period.
