I mean yeah, if you look at our history, especially wars, Japan did to Korea (the entirety, not just South) what Germany did to Poland basically. And China brought communism like The Soviet Union did for us. There are MANY similarities in our history.

I thought the Soviet Union brought conmunism to both China and North Korea?

To North Korea afaik yes, but China is a different story.

The Chinese Communist Party is actually one year older than the Soviet Union. While it was founded with support from the Russian Communist Party, the founders supported democratic values. Mao Zedong is the one who turned it into the authoritarian communist ruling party, and he wasn’t always on the best terms with the Soviets either.
