Re: The Levant crisis.(Israel,SYRIA,Lebanon,etc)

In 1971 US did ask China to open a second front against India, but China did not comply. On December 10, Nixon instructed Kissinger to ask the Chinese to move some troops toward the Indian frontier. ‘Threaten to move forces or move them, Henry, that’s what they must do now.’ China feared any action...
