"Today, 50 years after his trips to China and Russia — and as we approach the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War — his foreign policy represents the ultimate example of the type of strategic thinking that should again guide America today," O’Brien said, adding that he hopes to encourage a "Nixonian style of thinking about world affairs and grand strategy" in his new role.
O’Brien told Fox News that during the Nixon administration there was a hope that China would "become wealthier, become more democratic and more liberal, and more like us."
