How did the cold war affect relations between the Soviet Union and the Peoples Republic of China?
In 1963 the USSR and the Peoples Republic of China, hereafter referred to as China had a huge relationship problem with each other. The basis of the problem was how each of these powerful Communist powers were reacting to the policies of the USA and her main allies. China was a "new" communist nation compared to the USSR which had its beginnings in the 1917 revolt against the Provisional Government of Russia.
There was and still is serious debate about the rift in USSR- China relations. At this point in time, the "Cold War" may have been seen as an intense war by the USA and her allies. Not so said China. The USSR claimed all was well in hand with regards to the cold war.
One point of view states that China had a more radical stance towards the enemies of communism than that of the USSR. From the Chinese point of view, the "intensity" was more luke warm than cold. From the USSR side, the Chinese radicalism and its critique of the USSR, was an attempt to take a leadership role in the battle to expand communism world wide.
This came to a heated point in October of 1963 when the Soviets issued a public statement that China was doing immense harm to the globalization of communism and causing communist nations to become at odds with each other over how to handle world events. It claimed that the unity of communist nations was being placed in jeopardy by the radicalism of China.
One month later China issued a public statement that Khrushchev was serving the wishes of the Us imperialists. China claimed that in fact the Khrushchev led USSR was displaying the bankruptcy of its ridiculous theories on world events that only helped imperialism.
At one point in this dialogue China claimed that the USSR had become the running dogs of imperialism.
