Why was such atrocious international policy tolerated?
>>913758
Because commies.
Literally
>>913758
Because Russians are deathly afraid of China and want to suck up to it.
If you are wondering why the "international community" didn't react: nukes.
But then, why would the "international community" of the US, Europe, Canada and Australia do anything about the two main opposing powers competing among themselves, essentially weakening their offensive potential?

You answered your own question

Because China could zerg rush Siberia if it wanted to, but nobody cares about a frozen wasteland.

Then why didn't the two powers work together to evade such issues? They willingly took on international damnation together and then went "oh they won't pay for aircraft, time for war."
The soviets were literally retarded, and we decided to continue their fuck-ups in Afghanistan.

Both Chinks and Russians are lying backstabbing sacks of shit, there's not a whole room for cooperation there.
>>913844
Ideological differences, on top of differences in the objectives of the historically determinate Soviet and Chinese States. China and the USSR cooperated in some areas, but they disagreed on a lot of things.

Because of nukes. No-one wants an escalation of conflict between two nuclear states, not even the aggressors. Some tiny river islands were the object of contention according to your article, and being able to get a win in such a situation is of course a benefit to the victor, but both parties had to make sure things didn't get out of hand. Essentially they were testing each others limits, like children, in the early days of nuclear defence policy.
Commies are not rational actors. It's the same sort of madness you'd find any other time cultists got in a fight.

What I said. They're afraid of them, starting from the Soviet days.
>>913942
>a nuclear superpower was afraid of a total shithole that had only recently learned how to make nukes
Even nowadays the Russians and Chinese are on amiable terms because of no more border disputes, economic ties, and Russia having the nuclear superiority.
