Perhaps Red China was merely *spooky ambience* p.a.r.a.n.o.i.d.? Or, the more likely scenario, perhaps there really was something shared between Robert Fischer and Red China's distaste for…
Soviet Machiavellianism --and How Mao Tse-Tung Won Over Soviet Communism, Staged Own Revolution

“…In wary conversations with westerners, the Red Chinese are now telling their side of the story.
The Chinese Communist party started out as a branch of the Comintern, controlled body and soul by Moscow. The Kremlin sought to organize a Soviet-style workers' revolution in China, with the new factory workers of the cities as the base.
But Mao Tse-tung, rejecting Soviet dogma as less valuable than excrement which at least could be used to fertilize the fields, gained control of the party and organized a peasants' revolution rooted in the soil.
His chief rival, Li Li-sa, fled to Moscow. Li returned at the end of World War II with the Soviet troops that marched into Manchuria and again sought to bring the Chinese Communists under Soviet influence.
Not only did Mao prevail, but he made friendly overtures to the U.S. Washington rebuffed his offer of friendship, ([but how eager art Washington to make trade deals and friendly alliances behind closed doors with Moscow! Some might accuse the Soviet Union, whose factories and industry was built by American industrialists were working together for world hegemony. Soviet Union makes it threatening arsenals of nuclear stockpiles which is the excuse needed for Washington, DC to “warn Americans” who are paralyzed in fear of nuclear Armageddon to vote ever more funding, a regular gravy train to the military industry! and its non-ceasing flow of weapons of mass destruction to perpetually conquer and plunder]) furnished military aid instead to Chiang Kai-shek and forced the Chinese Communists back into an alliance with Russia.
With the bitter comment that Americans think “the moon in America is rounder than the moon in China,” Mao became an implacable foe of the U.S.
But more pragmatic Chinese officials, including Premier Chou-en-lai, reportedly favored maintaining contacts with the U.S. in order to avoid domination by the Soviet colossus across the border.
Some of them now claim that the Kremlin pushed China into the Korean war and tried to goad China into the Vietnam war to inflame American opinion against the Chinese. These officials attribute a quarter century of Chinese-American enmity largely to Soviet Machiavellianism.…”
