While I agree the generalissimo can’t reverse the civil war twenty years on, In the bloodletting of the gpcr, The Kit might be able to pick up some defectors, and a few islands. If you read his propaganda manifesto Chang kaishek talks to the nation, He offered asylum, to local officials. Substantial raises and new positions given to cadre who change sides. Something just might happen under the cover of chaos.
There were occasional defections in OTL esp. PLAAF pilots, but no one significant.
