I really have to doubt it'll happen - and there's more factions claiming it than those two, though they are the strongest.

More likely, they'll come to some sort of arrangement, and split China. If nothing else, a war wold be a stalemate.... and in such an environment, it's likely that the USSR would regret it, big-time.
