Among these concerns, none has more profoundly affected Chinese policymaking than the deterioration and militarization of Sino-Soviet relations.  This study traces the course of the conflict between Moscow and Beijing to indicate the increasing emphasis that both leaderships have placed on the national security aspects of their rivalry.  Beijing's predominant security concern is to reduce (or at least to stabilize) the Soviet political and military threat to China.  Several key policy considerations continue to be contentious issues within the Chinese leadership, including (1) China's effort to construct an anti-Soviet security coalition with the United States and other major powers; (2) a burgeoning pattern of economic, technological, and political links between China and the noncommunist industrialized world intended to facilitate China's modernization; and (3) periodic overtures to the Soviet Union that test Moscow's willingness to negotiate key bilateral issues.  aAlso available on the internet via WWW in PDF format.  aDescription based on print version record. 0aChinaxForeign relationszSoviet Union. 0aChinaxForeign relationszUnited States. 0aSoviet UnionxForeign relationszChina. 0aUnited StatesxForeign relationszChina.2 aProject Air Force (U.S.)2 aRand Corporation.1 aUnited States.bAir Force.41yOnline Accessuhttp://www.rand.org/pubs/reports/R2907/
