JCC: Sino-Soviet Split: China
Location TBD
Following the Soviet Union’s path of so-called “De-Stalinization,” the Party has begun to separate itself from the uniform communist ideology the two countries once held. The Soviet Union’s increased collaboration with India is also a concern, as the USSR’s position on the ongoing border dispute is unclear. The recent Taiwan Straits crisis has shown the Chinese government and the Soviets are unwilling to stand against the western threat, leaving several paths forward towards a secure future.
