WI: No KMT-CCP Split

No Chiang would definitely help. Or maybe him not using the gangs, of all people, to purge Shanghai and other cities from "left-wing elements".

I remember my parents telling me stories about the CPC telling them stories about those gangs. Lol

"Instead of using oil to cook their food, they just rubbed their hair and let it [the oil] drop into pan."
 
Preempting the 1927 Shanghai massacre with a 'counter-'purge of the conservatives might be a start. But would the Wang's leftist KMT faction be as ruthless as Chiang's conservatives and his Triad allies?

Wang was fairly opposed to the Communists too, but I just want to see the impacts of a Leftist China; mostly, I just want to see what would happen with land reform and more aid from the Soviets.
