>Why did it happen?

Territorial/political differences between the two combined with breddy-gud tier mid-term geopolitics by the Nixon administration.

>what happened

The catalyst was arguably the Vietnam War. This is a fanfic-tier theory, but the fact that the US withdrawal was literally immediately followed by the Nixon visit to China, China turning to the West instead of Russia in trade, and the PRC invasion of Vietnam indicates to me that some breddy significant backroom deals went on.

>inb4 burgers say it was entirely the hippies' fault and they had 100% won the war.

>How did this play out in with the cold war?

Completely isolated the Warsaw Pact and rekt their influence in Asia outside of the borders of the USSR. It was a significant strategic victory for NATO/aligned countries.
