If the KMT are about to win the Chinese Civil War in the late 1940s (several years after the end of World War II), does Stalin prop up Mao in Manchuria (and thus create a pro-Soviet puppet regime there in the mold of North Korea)? Or does he allow Chiang Kai-shek and the KMT to capture Manchuria?

Any thoughts on this?
