the breaking of political relations between the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR)

The Sino-Soviet split was the breakdown of the political relationship between communist China and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. It mattered because it divided the communist world into competing factions, weakened Soviet influence in Asia, and reshaped global politics by allowing China to develop as an independent power.
