C. Establishing friendly international ties and coexistence would prevent a nuclear warfare outbreak.

Explanation:

Nixon said this in the framework of the complex relations between China and the Soviet Union. This two Communist countries broke relations at the end of the 1950s and, therefore, it paved the way for establishing new links between China and the US. This was a particular moment of greater tension during the Cold war, due to the constant threat of a global nuclear war. In this way, Nixon wanted to distend these complex relations by establishing friendly international ties in order to prevent a nuclear warfare outbreak.
