To find the correct answer, let's break down the options and determine the most accurate response:
A. When Soviet states withdrew from the USSR, Chinese diplomats sought to acquire Russian states located along the Chinese border.
This option suggests that the Chinese government actively tried to acquire Russian states along their border after the fall of Communist Russia. While it is true that China did seek closer relations with Russia during this period, it did not actively seek to acquire Russian states.
B. The Chinese government predicted that its own system could collapse, since it had been based on the Soviet Communist model.
This option discusses the Chinese government's predictions about its own system collapsing following the fall of Communist Russia. While it is true that China had been influenced by the Soviet Communist model, this does not fully address the Chinese government's reaction to the collapse of the USSR.
C. The Chinese government hired former Soviet Communist Party chiefs to administer diplomatic relations with the Mongolians.
This option suggests that the Chinese government hired former Soviet Communist Party chiefs to handle diplomatic relations with Mongolia. While it is possible that China may have sought expertise from former Soviet officials, there is no specific evidence to support this scenario or its direct link to the fall of Communist Russia.
D. Chinese analysts studied the Russian collapse to determine whether Communist ideology or Soviet administrators were to blame.
This option indicates that Chinese analysts studied the Russian collapse to evaluate whether Communist ideology or Soviet administrators were responsible. This choice focuses on the Chinese government's reaction to the fall of Communist Russia and analyzing its causes, making it a more accurate option.
Therefore, the most accurate answer to the question would be D. Chinese analysts studied the Russian collapse to determine whether Communist ideology or Soviet administrators were to blame.
