In the early 1970's the US table tennis team was invited to China. This was the first invitation to a US - Chinese friendly relationship in 30 years. Visits by Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, G.H. W. Bush, Clinton, G W Bush and Obama have followed since. The use of sports to open diplomatic relations has been dubbed "PingPong Diplomacy".
