Did Russia and China go to war in the game's semi-lore?

[Cat Grill Friend]

I know in the campaign they said that it was the Russians who put the Chinese dictator in power, and that they were working together in several aspects, but is there a lore reason why Russia and China can fight each other? Or am I just overthinking this?
