Conservatism supports the traditional status quo of the country. It favors a strong government who does not control but exercises a rigid regulation of economic activities.
Conservatists are normally in favor of raising taxes, particularly to those businesses and individuals with high incomes. They do this with the objective of achieving proportionality among citizens. They support a major tax income because it is essential to maintain a strong military, which they believe is one of the pillars of the nation's success throughout its history.
Conservatists also emphasize on social stability. This is why they are reluctant to accept petitions by minority groups who claim for certain rights and favor strong punishment who those who behave unlawfully.
The Soviet Union was worried that the US and China would prosper and become more powerful because of each other. Since China was so close to the Soviet Union geographically, they would rather be friends with China and her allies to protect itself and its assets.
