1 is maybe Nixon or Kissinger and Zhou or Mao 'opening up' China to the West?
2 is Chinese troops with West Germans.
3 I think Sino-Vietnam war - appears to be Chinese troops with Vietnamese PoWs.
4 is the Cambodian killing fields - Deng supported the Khmer Rouge.
5 looks like Afghanistan and 6 maybe some African civil war that China aligned wrongly on?
Overall just examples of bad Chinese foreign policy during the Cold War.
