  Abstract:  The Moscow meetings of representatives of the Communist and Workers’ parties in 1957 and 1960, represents a turning point in the study of the Sino-Soviet split. During the Moscow meeting of 1957, the Sino-Soviet differences occured with less intensity, Chinese objections referring to issues such as: the transition from capitalism to socialism, the problem of war and peace or peaceful coexistence. Moderate position adopted by Mao Zedong is explicable given that at that time, People’s Republic of China enjoyed a substantial Soviet economic aid. But during the Moscow meeting of 1960 (after the withdrawal of Soviet experts from China, in July), Sino-Soviet differences have degenerated into a broad debate on principles that would guide the international communist movement. Therefore, Sino-Soviet rift became visible, the two parties engaging in the polemic on the general line of the international communist movement. Regarding the attitude of policy makers in Bucharest we must say that it was identical with the position assumed by the Kremlin leaders.
