On October 1, 1970, Chairman Mao Zedong invited American writer Edgar Snow to the National Day celebration on the Tian'anmen rostrum, sending a signal to the US that China was interested in improving relations with the US. On December 18, Mao Zedong asked Snow to pass the message to Washington that President Richard Nixon would be welcome to Beijing for talks.
