    I mean the Split with the Soviets and Detente with the West happened while Mao was still in charge, im not defending anything he did but he was not solely responsible for China’s foreign policy shift

      Oh well Malenkov and Beria were also destalinising so obviously we cant blame Khruschchev there either. Right?

      Deng had control of Chinese foreign policy for decades and in those decades the Chinese foreign policy was utterly shit.
