Answer:
The Soviet Union and China were uneasy allies. Chinese communism differed from Soviet communism, especially on Marxist ideology. A main difference was their view of the peasantry as playing a major role in the communist revolution. On the other hand, Soviets put their trust in a "revolutionary elite" of intellectuals and urban workers instead of the rural poor. After border clashes and disagreements over ideology, in 1959 Soviets withdrew all of their aid and advisors from China, ending their alliance.
