In what sense did the USSR struggle to adopt computers?
Also, I doubt that the PRC was more successful at adopting computers than the USSR during the latter’s existence.
Taking a look into this, though, again, I don’t really see how you are comparing the USSR to the PRC, which most likely did not have a large amount of ‘computers’ (whatever is counted as a ‘computer’ in this context) at the time (around 1970, I take it?)

I haven’t been able to find much beyond lib sources, unfortunately, but what I’ve read indicates that the USSR had around 10000 computers at a time when the US had over 1 million.
