      dont think they ever did, china and cuba have maintained good relations ever since the revolution, which is quite interesting considering the ideological shifts in sino-soviet split as well as Deng's market liberalization

      castro respected the long march and the military achievements of the CPC a lot, but criticized mao in his autobiography for "going too far to the left", overall calling him a "great revolutionary who made grave errors". cuba remained a lot closer to the soviet bloc during the cold war of course, but i am also not aware of any formal fight between the two. castro laid a wreath at mao's tomb during his visit to china in the 90s
