And even without the communists, there are still going to be significant portions of the country ruled by local warlords, and large portions of the central government apparatus under the sway of various factions and cliques. I really don't see how Chiang could really implement any coherent nation-wide policies in such an atmosphere.
Not really, the warlord era was long over. All that was left was the pro-KMT Ma clique in central China and the pro-Soviet East Turkestan Republic in northern Xinjiang.
