"sinoguy" is just mad about the communists winning in 1949. America could have indeed turned back the tide.

Those days were a disgraceful time for the USA. Blame it on "American" Lefties and the Democrat party. They are responsible. MacArthur's planned counter stroke to Chinese Communist attack back in '50 would have wrecked the PLA, the Chinese Communist Party, the DPRK, and occupied Peking. Truman dismissed MacArthur because Truman didn't want this to happen.

no,macarthure's idea was stupid ,which only could arouse WW III.

the only chance for ur american would had kept china as close ally was to support Chiang to win chinese civil war.

but ur american obviously lost the chance and made a communist monster instead of a powerful ally.
