AHC: Reverse the fates of the USSR and PRC

With a POD after October 1, 1949 (when Mao Zedong proclaimed the People's Republic of China), create a scenario where the PRC collapses in the late-1980s to early-1990s in a dramatic, if mostly bloodless, collapse while the USSR adopts large-scale economic reforms albeit keeping the political system of one-party rule under the CPSU. Bonus points if you do so with a POD after Khruschev's fall from power and extra bonus points if you do this wth a POD after the fall of the "Gang of Four".
 
RIght after Cuba/Kennedy is the best time and almost only time if it is post 1949

the best time is right after the war the west decides that massive marshal level aid should be given to the east. we come in, make friends and influence and work with them.

there was little to any trust from either side before or after the war. so you need something to bring them together.

if not the war, someone wakes up after cuba and says.. holy shit we almost bite the big one, this cant happen and well.. everyone starts to get along and stuff and things..
