No Communist China
Volkodav:
I read somwhere a few years back that if Nationalist China had just let the Communists stew in their own juices in Manchuria and concentrated on developing industrial capacity in the rest of the country the communist would have eventually collapsed or at worst become a hermit empire like North Korea.
apophenia:
Attached is a map of the modest ambitions of the Chiang-Kai-shek dictatorship circa 1950. Having shortly arrived on Taiwan, Chiang intended that KMT troops return to China proper, not have their asses again, and then conquer all mainland territory in Asia north of India and east of the Urals and Caspian Sea.
From the arrows shown reaching across the north Pacific (and nuking Moscow?), I assume that Chiang was expecting some minor assistance from the USA in creating das Großchina. Unfortunately for the resident megalomaniac in Taipei, it took until 1965 to complete the detailed plans for this invasion ...
Still, seems do-able ;D
