Little known fact about Poppy & China from wiki. He was also the US Ambassador to the UN under Nixon.
President Gerald Ford appointed Bush to be Chief of the U.S. Liaison Office in the People's Republic of China. Since the United States at the time maintained official relations with the Republic of China on Taiwan and not the People's Republic of China, the Liaison Office did not have the official status of an embassy and Bush did not formally hold the position of ambassador, though he unofficially acted as one. The 14 months that he spent in China were largely seen as beneficial for China–United States relations.
In 1976 Ford brought Bush back to Washington to become Director of Central Intelligence (DCI), replacing William Colby.[43] He served in this role for 357 days, from January 30, 1976, to January 20, 1977. In his capacity as DCI, Bush gave national security briefings to Jimmy Carter both as a presidential candidate and as president-elect
