Interesting folks, if Mao and the Communists control Manchuria that would give them a base to carry out attacks against Nationalist China probably in the form of guerilla activity and terrorist warfare (car bombs, etc). There's not likely to be a Korean War, so we still have two Korea's, but NK will be weaker. Korea may be reunited in the early 1990s without the war.
Nationalist China will be close to the west, as the Communists are right on their border, and Chiang considered them to be a disease of the heart. So mainland China exists in Martial Law for four decades but eventually eases this and becomes democratic.
Curious though what happens to Uighuristan? Perhaps it is Uighur SSR and the newest province in the Soviet Union? Tibet remains independent, and Soviet bases are built in Manchuria, and Mongolia.
Chiang might help the French out in the Indochina War, and if not the French he could help the US out as the US secures the South, China secures the North, permanent US and Chinese military facilities are built in reaction to guerilla activity deep in the jungles, but without the steady stream of supplies from China, Russia and other contributors. Maybe a series of cease-fires is called in Vietnam but is often broken and called again after the west wears them out a bit.
