to that one act of betrayal to our most dedicated ww2 ally.
Hardly that, but your statement is totally true otherwise. Chiang Kai Shek was about to crush the Communists in 1946 but the US told him to stop and the Commies rebounded and won.

Well, maybe, but
Chinese peasants built 5 airfields , leveled the land with shovels , and used hammers to bust rocks into little rocks to pave runways for our airforce .

What other ally did we leave high and dry like that ( well, besides Poland )
All the other allies ( nato ) have been freeloading off us since.
