Chinese relationship with a surviving soviet union

What would Chinese relationship be like with surviving soviet union without the Baltic states , Armenia and Georgia.

Would they have similar relationship to modern day Russia and china or would they be rivals
 
Hmmm. Did the Armenians leave before the Azerbaijani? Well, guess the Armenians won't get that Armenian populated land here. Anyways, a big issue for all of this is that the Russian public also was fed up with everything. And why should they be happier now that the Baltics, the wealthiest portions of the union, have went independent? It to mentoin how Georgia was loved as a vacation spot in part because of everything you could get their. Fruit, wine, roses... Georgians made a nice profit going north with their goods and selling them in the cities. I expect this world will have the Soviets as one of the major energy producers in the world. I am wondering how the Soviets staying in Central Asia will effect things. I assume not having the Soviets surround the Chinese in the manner they did made them seem a bit less threatening. And for the Soviet system... perhaps they start taking on the thighs the Chinese did? As in to have reform and experimentation be done at the local level, and then apply them to certain parts of the country, rather than the Soviet method of Diogo everything from the top.
 
I was thinking Shock Therapy

Yeltsin tried it and look how it turned out for Russia in the 1990s. That said, Sino-Soviet relations were improving under Gorbachev. With the Warsaw Pact gone and the USSR's influence in the world diminished, a Sino-Soviet cooperation could prove an alternate counterweight to US dominance. It all depends on how Gorbachev's successors handle things (assuming he doesn't stay in office until the present day).
