Every single what if with the Republic of China seems to pose the question what if Chiang had won the a Civil War? What I want to ask is what if Chiang had chosen to see Mao as a potential partner of a New China?
As far as I know Mao and the CCC had no designs on a violent takeover of the country and was of a mind of tranquil cooperation with the Kuomintang. What if Chiang followed the teachings of Sun and partnered with Mao to institute government reform and hold democratic elections? Who ends up being the true ruler of China? How does a potential Sino-Japanese War effected if Japan knows China will not be weak and divided?
