China, under the KMT was headed down the path in the 1930s that the Mainland is now headed down (finally) in 2001. The Communists had a revolution against that though. Even Deng was put in prison, if I am not mistaken, over his economic views.
Communism interrupted what was originally the plan...
Right.
>>It was a revolution against the KMT and their 'capitalistic' ways.
It was a revolution against the KMT, but not neccessarily their 'capitalistic' ways. Liu Shaoqi said to the capilists in Tianjing right after liberation, "the more the capitalists, the better".

How did the US know in 1940s that Deng would be in prison in 1960s? Did the US supported KMT because Truman had seen the future of China and the Cultural Revolution? BTW it was during the Cultural Revolution that the US and China became partners against the USSR. Did the US criticize Mao's "atrocity" when Nixon visited Mao's bedroom and chatted with "the great leader of a great nation"?

The plan only existed in the books.
