The POD can be as close as the end of World War II.

Truman showed intense dislike for Chiang Kai-shek. "Chiang Kai-shek and the Madame and their families, the Soong family and the Kungs were all thieves... They stole seven hundred and fifty million dollars out of the thirty-five billion we sent ... and invested in real estate ... And I don't want anything to do with people like that."

Eventually, he preferred Chiang because Mao was Communist. Literally what this post is asking for is:

How do you make the US support the Communists instead of the KMT?

Because then Communist China wouldn't go into a 'siege mentality' and attack from the Yalu - and America gets an ally of sorts against the Soviets. Maybe they'll stop thinking that Communists are homogeneous.
