The Street of Eternal Happiness: Mr. Qiu meets the President
Friday, October 19, 2012 - 11:14 President Richard Nixon and Chinese Premier Zhou En-Lai eat dinner at the Jinjiang Hotel, on the Street of Eternal Happiness. They has just signed the Shanghai Communique, which officially opened up trade between the U.S. and China. Forty years ago, President Richard Nixon stood beside a helicopter on the South Lawn of the White House. He was going on a trip. “We must recognize that the government of the People’s Republic of China and the government of the United States have had great differences,” he told the crowd wishing him farewell.

That’s where he and Chinese Premier Zhou En-Lai would sign the Shanghai Communique -- the first step in opening up trade between the United States and China.

Tourists from China now spend more on international travel than tourists from any other country. The U.S. travel industry is slowly learning how to attract them. According to a report released last week by the U.N. World Tourism Organization, Chinese travelers spent $102 billion on international tourism in 2012, 40% more than they spent in 2011. More than 80 million Chinese traveled internationally in 2011, outspending German tourists — the longtime leader in overseas travel spending — for the first time. Those numbers have steadily climbed since 2000, when 10 million Chinese traveled abroad.
