China and Russia not only were neighboring countries, but in the post-WW 2 era they also both were ruled by a Communist party. The Western countries in that period mostly supported the Chinese regime that had been driven off by the Communist forces to the isle of Taiwan, so Communist chairman Mao had only his fellow-Communists in Russia to turn to to help mainland China get back on its feet. The Russians on their part were of course happy to gain influence in a country as large and central in Asia as China.
