Updated: 2009-01-06 10:46 Linked as never before, China and the United States face a new challenge tackling the global financial crisis, 30 years after they formally established diplomatic ties. Here are some milestones in the two countries' relationship: April 1971 - "Ping Pong diplomacy" kicks off when a US table tennis team travels to China, thawing ties that had been frozen since People's Republic of China was founded in 1949. Feb 1972 - US President Richard Nixon travels to China and meets Chairman Mao Zedong. The two countries issue the Shanghai Communique, laying out the "one-China" policy. The communique puts an?end to more than 20 years of?mutual estrangement between China and the US. Jan 1, 1979 - Beijing and Washington establish diplomatic relations, and the United States ends 30 years of recognition of?Chiang Kai-shek's?government in Taipei.

Oct 2001 - Chinese President Jiang Zemin?meets US President George W. Bush at the Shanghai APEC summit and offers to help in the US-led "war on terror". May 2002 - Bush welcomes?Hu Jintao, who was?China's vice-president at that time,?to the White House for talks. Aug 2003 - Beijing hosts the first round of six-party talks, a multilateral negotiation over the nuclear issue on the?Korean?Peninsula. The talks mark a new diplomatic role for China and the US. Nov 2005 - Bush visits Beijing. Sep 2008 - China surpasses Japan as the largest holder of US treasuries. Dec 2008 - China urges the US to do all it can to tame?its financial crisis and avert global recession.
