"The United States eased tensions with China and the Soviet Union."
Explanation: Nixon pursued détente — opening relations with the People's Republic of China (his 1972 visit) and negotiating arms-limitation agreements with the USSR (e.g., SALT I). The other statements describe earlier eras (Red Scare/McCarthyism) or are inaccurate about Nixon’s Vietnamization and troop drawdowns rather than a large peacetime military buildup to fight Communism.
