S4-E8 - The U.S. Breaks Up With Taipei for Beijing (Dec. 1978)

Former U.S. president Jimmy Carter only served one term, but
those four years were rough: oil embargos, inflation, the Iran
hostage crisis, and the decision to recognize the People’s
Republic of China (PRC). It was an unpopular move, especially in
Taiwan. President Carter asked his deputy secretary of state,
Warren Christopher, to go to Taipei and deal with the
fallout. Christopher received possibly the most hostile
“welcome” to Taiwan ever experienced by an American
government official.
