Cartoon shows a huge dragon (labeled "China") with Mao Zedong's head breathing flames on a bear labeled with a hammer and sickle. Relations between the Soviet Union and China, the two great Communist superpowers, were frequently acrimonious, due to a long history of rivalry and conflict. In the 1970s, border disputes contributed to the problem. In March, 1978, the Chinese rebuffed a Soviet offer to discuss improving relations.
