I'd always assumed that they got into a spat about resources on their mutual border.
Access to warm-water ports in the Pacific? China's been building up islands and naval bases and such.

Something else that comes up... and it goes in hand with the complaint that there's a lack of civilian guns in both the original and my conversion.

What IS the most popular hunting gun in Europe and what caliber is most common?

Making the Win 70 in .30-06 representational probably is incorrect.

A very quick Google search suggests that .30-06 and 0.308Win are the most common in Sweden.

As we used to say on the pool table, "Too much green in between." The warm-water Pacific ports are a long way across China from the USSR's border. Even a drive south from the Pacific coast of Siberia would need to take a lot of land before hitting a suitable port.

Unless there was a detour to take Inchon....
