AH Challenge: Three Way Cold War

I set up a challenge for a cold war between the United States/British Commonwealth against Nazi Germany and the People's republic of China

The POD must be in 1942, the Nazis must force an American/British peace settlement starting the Cold War

Mao Zedong Must still be in power by 1949.
 
China nowadays might be able to hold up it's end, but Mao's china is a wee little fish vs. a Nazi Europe and the US. This is a wrestling match with an annoying midget shouting abuse at both the wrestlers in the ring. You'd be better off, if you want to have a three-way cold war, is to take Hendryk's superpower empire China and make it eeeevil.

Perhaps Mao keeps quiet until he gets the bomb (Perhaps defecting Soviet scientists might help the Chinese?) and then china could prove itself on the world stage
 
have a communist revolution take india out of western sphere and deep in red chinese one, have ussr (amputated of european russia till urals) collapse and maoist faction win the susbsequent civil war, and it would be less unlikely...
 
Maybe you could have something like the Nazi's pushing the Soviets back(somehow) to the Urals, with Fall Bleu successful. Nazi's win, etc. However, the USSR is still around, and pushes it's influence into Central Asia and China against the retreating Japanese(the Pacific War goes as OTL). A real alliance is built between Mao's China and the USSR, with no Sino-Soviet split b/c the USSR isn't in a position to lose China as an ally, as they will be too weak. Then we see a facist bloc(Europe), and Democratic bloc(the US and British) and a communist bloc(most of USSR, China) when nukes are invented.

That could work - getting rid of Mao would help too. (Oh, wait...:) )Sino-Soviet Union? Korea probably ends up entirely in the US camp: what happens to Vietnam when there's no French government to take over from the Japanese?
