In February 1972, President Nixon traveled to Beijing, Hangzhou, and Shanghai. At the conclusion of his trip, the U.S. and Chinese Governments issued the "Shanghai Communiqué," a statement of their foreign policy views.

Department of State Washington File: Text: USTR on Shanghai Talks on China's Accession to WTO
In Shanghai we were able to ensure the right to trade for both foreign-invested companies located in China and to foreign companies that export goods to China without forming a company in China. ... -- In Shanghai, China agreed to include subsidies provided for programs described in Article 6.2 in the calculation of its AMS. These subsidies will therefore be subject to the 8.5% cap. ... -- In Shanghai, we clarified China's commitment on chain stores in a way that restricts the kinds of stores that will have equity limitations. Only those stores that sell different types of goods and brands from multiple suppliers will be restricted and only for stores above thirty. This effectively reinstates China's commitments on all other types of retail establishment and protects, inter alia the right of automobile dealers and distributors of processed petroleum products to have more than thirty wholly-owned stores. ...

During the year, citizens seeking to petition the Central Government for redress of grievances faced harassment, detention, and incarceration. In several cases, Shanghai police officers and officials from the Shanghai Office of the Bureau for Handling Letters and Visits traveled to Beijing to prevent Shanghai residents from raising grievances with Central Government officials. On November 18, such a team of Shanghai officials detained Jiang Meili, the wife of convicted Shanghai housing advocate Zheng Enchong, and her sister and forced them to return to Shanghai. Jiang was in Beijing to consult her husband's attorney. Other citizens expressing grievances involving housing and salary have faced similar harassment. For example, Hong Kong resident Shen Ting was harassed by non-Beijing police and detained in October for traveling to Beijing to protest housing issues in Shanghai (see Section 1.f.). On December 2, Shanghai residents Gong Haoming and Chen Enjuan were sentenced to 30 and 21 mon ... [Read More]
