China's Claims Against Russia

According to Chinese officials, Mongolia, much of Central Asia, and large tracts of Siberia north of Manchuria were “annexed by the Russian thieves“ under “unequal treaties" of the nineteenth century (dark yellow area). In all, former Chinese territory in Russian hands adds up to more than 400,000 square miles—a region as large as Western Europe.

Trouble on the Ussuri River

Armed clashes between border troops on a small disputed island in the Ussuri River in March. 1969, marked a high point in Sino-Soviet tensions. The Amur-Ussuri frontier, established by Sino- Russian treaty 111 years ago, is only one point of conflict between the two countries' national interests.

One of my favorite Nixon ironies is that he's why China exists at all today:

The Soviet Union was quite willing to take the border war of 1969 as an excuse to nuke the PRC and start an all out war. Had it done so China would not exist in any recognizable form, if at all, today and ultimately the USA would have won the Vietnam War as Hanoi's weaponry runs dry the moment Moscow and Beijing move to this, as does the er, zones of supply. Nixon refused to greenlight the war, and so the PRC was spared a war it indisputably would have lost, given that however weak the Soviet Army's logistics might have proven in practice, it had an even greater disparity relative to the PRC than Imperial Japan did to the WWII Chinese Armies and that war was a lopsided string of asskickings by Japan.

It's one of the very few cases of a potential nuclear war that's more or less obscure because it was an intra-Communist dogfight.

Nixon intervention saved China from Soviet nuclear attack
