China and the Soviet Union did not get along very well and when he connected himself with China, he could use that fact in negotiations with Russians because he would now be able to have Chinese support backing their negotiations which would make the Soviets a losing side in any possible conflict or in similar situations. He used it as leverage in negotiations.
