Relations between the United States and its NATO allies and the Soviet Union and its allies during the period 1946 - 1989 were often called "the Cold War" because of the continually adversarial nature of these relations in the absence of actual armed conflict.
No, they were not. The Chinese and Soviet versions of "communism" were different enough that the two countries didn't get along that well. In fact, the period from 1960-1989 is commonly referred to as the Sino-Soviet Split (Sino being a word for China).What it basically came down to is that Khruschev denouced the "cult of personality" that Stalin had cultivated (and Stalin himself, to a considerable extent), while Mao was using essentially the same strategy. Meanwhile, Mao did not want power to fall into the hands of the bureaucracy, which is essentially what Khruschev represented.For a part of that time, they weren't even nominal allies: the Sino-Soviet border conflict in 1969, for example, had them directly pitted against each other militarily, though it never escalated to the state of a formally declared war.
