Answering the OP here, personally I think the Nationalists might be hit by some nukes, especially if the majority of post-civil war reconstructioning is funded by the U.S. if that is so then the ROC will be a very firm ally of the U.S.A., and Chiang never liked Communism, in fact he hated it with a passion. The aid given by the Soviets were accepted since at the time the situation is dire, with a solid popular support (as the case will most likely be in the event of ROC victory) it will most likely cool down very quickly. As long as Chiang (and the KMT in general) is in charge China won't become a "Soviet Ally" nor an "India equivalent". In the event of the Cold War going hot though China might be hit to demonstrate that the Sovites are keeping an eye on them but nowhere near enough to cripple. There won't be sufficient forces to attack, and there will be no reason to, considering its all mountains and ridiculously hard to attack and easy to defend. It will still tie down a good chunk of Soviet forces though, and that will count for something at least.
I also find the claims of "ROC incompetent lazy corrupt warlords" stereotype to be much exaggerated and oftentimes annoying, especially coming from those who clearly don't know what they are talking about. The ROC's "examples" of "incompetentness" almost always originates from either communist propaganda or when the majority of the ROC supporters and the party itself has been decimated by the Japanese and the peasantry has been enticed by Communist promises of food, homes, and peace-when that is what the ROC had tried to do, but were only interrupted again and again by war, and the PRC simply took up the mantle of what the Nationalists left behind and gave it their own twist to it. It almost seems some people here genuinely believe that OTL under Mao will be better for China than an ATL under Chiang.....
I don't want to start an argument, but I have to defend the ROC here from wrongful accusations from people with less than ideal information.
