      Yep, the USSR’s existence as a competing superpower forced the American ruling class to focus on preventing a similar revolution domestically. Now with the fall of the USSR, the PRC is the next in line, and relations have soured since the 90s and 2000s when it looked like the PRC was going down a similar path as the USSR’s liberalization and eventual collapse, but this turned out to not be the case as the PRC has started increasing public ownership and planning under Xi.
