Because this is a communist website.

this comment comes off as really fucking dumb

Decades later, yeah.

I guess my point is that China's initial motivation to split is legitimate, regardless of their poor policy later.

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.

Mao wasn't exactly fond of Deng either.

Should China have also de-Stalinized in the 1950s then?

China, who hasn’t been to war in nearly 50 years, becomes reasonable now?

Is it lack of care or lack of ability to stop it?

Lots of people in this thread demanding China do something, not a lot of detail on what that something could be.

I mean what do you expect them to be able to do?

No? Analogies don’t have to be perfect to be useful.
