    Dengist foreign policy and the Sino Soviet split was such a disaster. China even invaded Vietnam at around the same time period. Went from backing the ANC to backing the PAC and even the apartheid government, as your article states.

      Dengist foreign policy and the Sino Soviet split

      That’s not Deng that’s Mao and Zhou Wenlai. Mao was even mad that Zhou was getting all the credit for reopening relationships with the west and stuff. By the time Deng was rehabilitated and given more power (by Mao btw) China’s foreign policy was already set.

      Read Vogel’s biography of Deng it’s very good
