Detailed explanation-1: -Jiang was the Nationalist leader of China. He was fighting a civil war against communists led by Mao. The United States sent aid to Jiang because American leaders feared that his defeat would create a communist superpower.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Soviet Union’s decision to let the CCP take control of Japanese weapons and supplies left behind in Manchuria, on the other hand, proved decisive.
