Chen, Zhong Zhong (2014) Defying Moscow: East German-Chinese relations during the Andropov-Chernenko interregnum, 1982–1985. Cold War History, 14 (2). pp. 259-280. ISSN 1468-2745

Using newly available East German and Chinese sources, this article sheds light on how East Germany actively defied Moscow's objections to expand relations with China in the early 1980s. Amidst increasing East German-Soviet tensions, East German leader Erich Honecker actively sought relations with China not only for reasons of prestige but also to gain a potential market for East German goods. This interest was initially reciprocated on the Chinese side, as Beijing looked towards East Germany as a leading industrial state for potential economic lessons during Deng Xiaoping's Reform and Opening Process.
