Yes. The Khmer Rouge was backed by the PRC, which is also what led to the Sino-Vietnamese War. Vietnam invaded Cambodia and expelled the PRC-backed Khmer Rouge, and this in turn triggered the war between Vietnam (who remained aligned with the Soviet Union) and China (who had a major split with the Soviet Union between the 1950s and 1970s).
The Khmer Rouge was the communist group that seized control of Cambodia in 1975. They instigated the Cambodian Genocide, which killed three million people. The Khmer Rouge was deposed in 1979 by the Vietnamese army.
