I am a little ignorant about this subject. Didn’t Chiang Kai-shek have Mao on the ropes when FDR’s commie State Department sent Marshall to China to stop Chiang from finishing Mao off?

He had Mao on the ropes several times. Marshall and Stillwell kept telling Chiang that he needed to do more to fight the Japanese, not the commies.

Uncle Joe managed to send Mao what he could, when he could, to keep his operation in business.
