After the Cuban Missile Crisis, Washington and Moscow accelerated the dtente process, leading China to fear a \""collusion\"" of the two superpowers. Publicly attacking its former ally while continuing to fight against America, China rose as a symbol of multipolarization in international politics during this era.
