Mainly because of the many major strategic and tactical errors made by Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist Kuomintang movement. First, the Kuomintang fired many of its fighting soldiers after WW 2, making them easy recruits for the Communists. This was a major boost for the Communists, who despite later Propaganda to the contrary had never shown much military skill, and their wartime operations against the Japanese had remained so secret that even the Japanese themselves had never noticed anything.
Then, Chiang decided to withdraw his defence forces to the cities, leaving the whole countryside wide open to the Communists. Further, the Kuomintang made a total mess of China's economy and by doing so made the Chinese population receptive to an alternative approach by the Communists.
As to the American aid: so much of it was embezzled and misappropriated by the Kuomintang leadership that a full $ 750 million (6 billion dollar in today's money) never reached its intended destination. When the US for this reason stopped its aid, unpaid Kuomintang soldiers deserted in massive numbers to the Communists.

Basically, the Soviets threatened the United States, and the United States responded by threatening to level Russia with nukes (ICBMs) if they attacked. The Soviets responded likewise, and therefore, not shots were ever fired because both nations feared a nuclear reprisal by the other.
