AH challenge: US debt reverse

You'd need to prevent Deng taking power to avoid the free-market reorientation, which means Hua winning the 1976-80 power struggle. Ask Hendryk for specifics on how Hua could do that. All the major 1968 contenders IOTL pledged to restore relations with the PRC. Nixon and Kennedy had urged that beginning in 1966.
 
Different economic policy by successive US govts from about Reagan to encourage saving and nation building instead of racking up debt.
 
The US sends several billion dollars to the Republic of China to defeat Mao and the Communists. When the Communists are defeated, the US continues to provide aid, to force the Soviets into increasing their own military spending to defend two fronts more heavily then OTL.
After the Soviets are defeated, the US begins to demand repayment of all the loans they gave, with interest.

You'd need to make Truman and Chiang hate each other a bit less.

Considering I thought of the idea in about 3 minutes, if thats the biggest problem I think I did well.
Maybe have Chiang take more of a backseat when dealing with the US, and allow Ms. Soong more of a free hand in wooing America?

For 20 years American work for an average of US$12 per month in factories and mines with no health or safety controls, consume 2500 calories per day and ride bicycles. They work ten hour days making goods to send to China.
Every Chinese has a gas-guzzling juggernaut to use up a third of the World's oil supply, buys ten times more food than he needs, subsidises every politically vocal interest group, builds a military big enough to fight everyone else in the world twice over, spends money like a drunken preacher in a whore house and borrows the money from America.
