I posted my thoughts on a Soviet Sino alliance years ago, I'll dig it up. But in most of my campaigns where it is applicable I include it. I wrote up a campaign where the PCs are part of a drive into the Chinese mainland a token force to support the Taiwaneese who are also supporting a Free Chinese Army, as I put China in a Civil War where elelments of its society want to break free from Communism but the old guard wants to regain control, toss in some natual disaster which they have often enough, and economic disaster which can ferment alot of discord and some of their plans that uproot or disenfranchise the rural population and you can whip up a civil war fairly quickly, I have Taiwanese helping sew the seeds of discord of course and then making a drive to establish a foothold on the mainlaind and reclaim their homeland.
