The economic rise of the current iteration of Communist China happened after his trade envoy visits. He also finished taking us off the Gold Standard, ushering in a new age of depravation for working class America. So, no, he was NOT a WH. He was a crook who played his part by getting caught tampering with an election, which "coincidentally" led the Repub Party to acquiesce to the insane demands of the Democratic Party, which helped screw the working class even more by ensuring the Repubs wouldn't be able to challenge any elections until AFTER the 2020 election cycle.

Nixon was a big nosed red herring for the Repubs.
