    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

        like having soviet nuclear subs/bases in their coastal waters

        fucking Khrushchev.

        the chinese wanted their own deterrents not borrowed soviet ones, especially in such a politically unstable time in the USSR

        correct move

      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.
