In other wrods, there is no sphere of influence for nationalist China?
Sphere of influence in Mongolia is probable, but if broad geopolitical trends follows otl I think any post-cold war government will be squirmish about annexing territory with too many "non-core" ethnicites.

The exception is if KMT-China makes a huge deal about Mongolia is part of China for 50 years during the cold war like otl PRC with Taiwan, then the emotional rewards of annexing it might outweigh the material and long-term political costs of it.

We agree about Mongolia at least.
 
Given that Chinese immigrants seemed to have been better adopted in the USA than the later Japanese, I wonder how much closer the USA and KMT China might be? Generically democratic, functionally capitalistic, not clearly an enemy, we might have a similar dynamic as occurred with Japan only earlier.
