In the Chinese civil war, the communists had a superior strategy of guerrilla warfare, ability to win the hearts of and extract resources (as well as intelligence) from the people in the countryside and better discipline in the party. The nationalists over-spread their forces, concentrated on holding important cities (to which they were later surrounded, their weapons being taken by the communists and troops being assimilated to the Red Army). The nationalists had weapons and equipment from the US, but they failed to use them effectively; the communists had equipment taken from the defeated Japanese in the north (as well as the nationalists). The nationalists mis-administered areas under their control, alienating most of the population, resulting in corruption and having huge inflation.

For nearly twenty-five years. the conflict between Chinese Communists and Chinese Nationalists waged until finally, in 1950, Mao Zedong and his Communist forces achieved supreme control of China. They managed to win this epic conflict through their own outstanding organization and persistence, along with important material support from the Soviet Union.

a M.O.A.B.
To be put simply, Mao could not win the support of America due to China being communist and America wanting at all costs not to become Communist, so they pulled out all contact with China. Even during the civil war in China, America was supporting the Nationalists, as they were that desperate for China not to become a communists country.

Mao Zedong and the Chinese Communists took control of China, creating what we now know as the "People's Republic of China". The Nationalists were pushed out of China, and created their own country: now known as Taiwan.

There is no way the Vietcong would win against China. China has the biggest army in the world. Give China the win.
Sino Japanese War from 1937
For nearly twenty-five years. the conflict between Chinese Communists and Chinese Nationalists waged until finally, in 1950, Mao Zedong and his Communist forces achieved supreme control of China. They managed to win this epic conflict through their own outstanding organization and persistence, along with important material support from the Soviet Union.

They feared the Communists would win control.
There were many internal disputes in China after the 1911 revolution, most known is what I believe the one you are referring to, which is when Mao came to power. Following the end of the Second World War, many internal conflicts in China was set aside to unite against the common enemy; Empire of Japan. When Japan was defeated by the US, China regained their territory and subsequently the conflicts reemerged. The two great forces seeking power were the Nationalists and the Communists. Despite the fact that Nationalists had prior to the war been massively superior and were supported internationally, they had had such losses during WW2 that the Communist Forces managed to win power and Mao gained power there in 1948.
