Correlation is not causation.Only when their own country is communist, when its not and if the country has a communist enemy, then things get murky.
Just some example, almost all the support that China got within India during the Sino-Indian war came from the communists. Almost all the Americans involved in transferring US nuclear technology to Soviet Union in the early 50s were also communists.
Besides, let us not forget the USSR fought a border war with PRC.
This has got nothing to do with ideology. In India's parlance, USSR was the greatest friend and PRC was and is the greatest threat.
So, it is naïve to generalise 'communists' in one group. For me, PRC is de jure communist, de facto capitalist.
