The nation that was invaded by the Soviet Union in the late 1970's was Afghanistan.
Every part of China was Communist, ever since 1949 until the 1970s, when Chairman Deng Xiaoping instituted capitalism and free trade reforms. Since then, China has no longer been communist in practice, as the nation currently violates many tenets of communism (for example, communist countries by definition have free trade, which China does)

The Soviet Union
In the 1970s, there was a revolution in Afghanistan, which led to the establishment of a communist government. Since this was the height of the Cold War and everything, the Soviet Union (Russia) immediately declared itself an ally of communist Afghanistan. When the Afghans started to rebel against their new communist government the Soviets sent in troops to put down the rebellion. Ultimately, the Soviets' goals were to maintain a communist "buffer state" separating themselves from non-communist Middle Eastern countries, and also to expand their sphere of influence.

The inability to connect communism with nationalism left communist regimes vulnerable throughout eastern and western Europe. The hope that reform might push the regimes to a less harsh and more enlightened communist rule with Nikita Khrushchev's vision of a more prosperous and humane communism inspired a generation of reformers in the Soviet Union and Europe. By the early 1970s, intellectuals and dissidents abandoned all hope for a humane socialism. Strains on the Soviet economy, obvious signs of discontent, and a new Soviet orientation by Mikhail S. Gorbachev, the new Soviet leader, led to the collapse or overthrow of regimes in Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Romania, and East Germany. The end of communism came first in Poland, where Solidarity, a combined trade union and nationalist movement, put pressure on the Communist Party. These two systems never connected because nationalism was about pride and freedom while communism was more about rules, regulations, and uniformity within a society. In Czechoslovakia, a "velvet revolution" swept communists out of office and restored democracy by 1990. The failure of these communist nations produced a quicker defeat of the Soviet Union with the pace of reform eventually leading to the ultimate collapse. The Soviet system disintegrated soon after other communist countries fell, a feat deemed impossible by many of the age. Boris Yeltsin, Gorbachev's former friend and ally, dismantled the Communist Party, lead the country towards democracy and became the first president of Russia.
