Is the answer C?
I agree.
Yes, the answer is C. Chinese analysts studied the Russian collapse to determine whether Communist ideology or Soviet administrators were to blame.
To arrive at this answer, you can use the process of elimination by considering each option and reasoning through it:
A. The Chinese government predicted that its own system could collapse, since it had been based on the Soviet Communist model.
This option does not directly address the Chinese government's reaction to the fall of Communist Russia.
B. The Chinese government hired former Soviet Communist Party chiefs to administer diplomatic relations with the Mongolians.
This option is not directly related to the Chinese government's reaction to the fall of Communist Russia, but rather focuses on their relations with Mongolia.
C. Chinese analysts studied the Russian collapse to determine whether Communist ideology or Soviet administrators were to blame.
This option directly addresses the Chinese government's reaction by mentioning that Chinese analysts studied the Russian collapse to assess the reasons for its downfall.
D. When Soviet states withdrew from the USSR, Chinese diplomats sought to acquire Russian states located along the Chinese border.
This option does not specifically address the Chinese government's reaction to the fall of Communist Russia, but rather focuses on territorial goals.
Therefore, option C is the best answer as it describes the Chinese government's response in studying the collapse of Russia to determine the causes.
