In OTL, the USSR and PRC began a rapprochement only in the late 1980s, nearly 30 years after the Sino-Soviet split. This only resulted in geopolitically signifiicant cooperation after the USSR's demise between *Russia* and the PRC.
Here's the challenge, engineer a Sino-Soviet rapprochement while the Soviet versus West Cold War is still going strong, any time in the three decades between 1959 and 1989.
Qualifying answers to the challenge will at a minimum include a far less tense and expensive military situation on the Sino-Soviet border and far less rhetorical critcism of each other's communist parties. If the rapprochement happens after 1963, double your points.
