Has China ever supported revolutions in Africa? I heard something of this a while ago and I can't remember where or when, if at all.

the Stalinist regime in China because of its national-based (as opposed to ideologically-based) opposition to Stalinist USSR ended up on the same side as imperialist USA in the Angola liberation war. while the USSR supported the MPLA (which went on to take power), the US and China supported both the FNLA and then UNITA. UNITA was a so-called Maoist guerrilla group and at the same time the main basis for reactionary forces against the new MPLA government after 1975, and they were supported by China, the US and racist South Africa.
Another example of the madness of "socialism in one country" and the lack of a serious political basis for the sino-soviet split. The USSR-China rivalry also led China to have links with Pinochet's Chile (!!!), Zia ul-Haq's Pakistan, and so on.

Although at the same time it must be remembered that Maoist China defended the North Koreans 'and' the Vietnamese against imperialist invasion helping to further communist influence in the world.

China (im pretty sure communist China) attacked Vietnam of its own interests, probably for the ports access etc.
Vietnamese defeated the french, chinese and of course the americanos

hi eltimborojo
the point we are trying to make is that the foreign policy of the Chinese Maoist bureaucracy was not dictated by the interests of the working class internationally or communism, bur rather by the narrow national interests of the bureaucracy itself, to the point of clashing with other "communist" (ie Stalinist) countries
welcome to the forum!
comradely,
redjordi

Yes, Vietnam after the war fought with China over national interests.

No, China fought Vietnam to show support for the Maoist genocidal regime of Pol Pot in 1979 when Vietnam invaded Democratic Kampuchea to liberate that country.
