So ok, so no naval arms race, just to modernize it, give it tech, and give it some carriers, but accepts that a naval race is something they cannot win.

So nobody has qualms with my other ideas, eh? :)

Except the US will consider it a naval arms race the moment the USSR starts greatly modernizing. Such a move couldn't look as anything other than a direct threat to the US.

The Sino-Split was inevitable by then, and it didn't give Khruschev power at all. The fact that Khruschev was forced into a more peaceful position and denounced Stalin, didn't sit well with Mao. There's also the fact the Chinese would not accept being under Soviet leadership, that you had Albania and Romania in dialogue with Mao. If Vietnam is still on the table that's also still going to keep being a big issue in Sino-Soviet relations.

If Khrushchev doesn't send that gives Mao and company ammunition to use against the revisionists. If he does he will have to compete with China, and also risk alienating the U.S

The Virgin lands campaign is tough because Khruschev is far to impulsive for his own good. Volkoganov noted that Khruschev was set in his ways, when it came to his opinions.

This is the big issue, the Chinese would not accept being the second string forever. Given its place in history it will eventually expect to be treated as a major independent government not as a satellite nation.
 
What if the Sino-Soviet Split does not happen due to no Mao, Cuban Missile Crisis happening, incident with Western ships ala Tonkin by China, and leaked documents from CIA that paints US as a benefiter of a war between the USSR and China, and nukes in Southeast Asia, China joins WarPac under necessity and under condition that the USSR won't interfere with China's domestics and there's joint consulatation on foreign policy, bit shaky but it still holds?
 
So nobody has qualms about my ideas anymore, and nobody seems to counter my idea about China in WarPac. Again, Mao's dead... Thread closing...

A split is inevitable as China simply will not play second fiddle forever.
