Also border disputes and resources ownership in central Asia. Stalin signed a massive friendship treaty with Mao after the civil war which gave a large amount of economic aid but in return also gave huge natural resource concessions to the Soviets. Like even the imperial powers of the last century couldn't secure a concession like this, for some years China was delivering 100% of their production of strategic resources like copper, rubber, or tungsten to the Soviets. It wasn't imperialism because they did get the chance to quickly industrialize off all that Soviet aid, but you could understand why China might feel like it was unfair.
There was also an ideological spilt with China calling Khrushchev revisionist and USSR calling China nationalists (both are honestly not so wrong). And issues with Soviet policy in South East Asia, particularly Vietnam.
Tbh even in light of the sino soviet split i havent seen much enemity from Chinese communists in retrospect towards that Stalin era of the USSR sending aid and most importantly technology,knowledge and experts sharing in probably the largest scale in human history in exchange for that natural resource dealing. I feel like the general sentiment was that it was benifitial for both parties more than not and an important part on what allowed the successes of the early years after the revolution
True, but technology sharing is a benefit that's going to diminish over time as you catch up, while giving up resources is a constant kneecap, and there's also the fact that a lot of the material they would need to take advantage of that new technology was being given away as part of the agreement. So they were giving up a constant stream of resources for diminishing benefits that they couldn't take advantage of in proper scale.
