    I think that China actually did back Pinochet, unless you want to say it doesn't count because of Deng

      China, backed Pinochet?

      The Sino-Soviet split and its consequences have been a disaster for mankind.

      China did a lot of really stupid shit to piss off the Soviets. So many Ls.

        They supported each other's territorial claims, did a failed "joint venture" to build up the fascist military, and things like that.

            I was referring not to the fascist coup but much later when Pinochet visited China and concluded that SWCC was of a nationalist character, unlike the communism of Mao. Sorry for being unclear.
