The Wedemeyer Report
...the summer of 1947, General Albert C. Wedemeyer was sent to Asia under Presidential orders to find out what was wrong in China. (snip) He indicated that not only had the interests of free China been violated, but the self-interests of the United States and all her allies had been subordinated to the whims of the Communists. He recommended prompt and voluminous aid to the Nationalist Government and predicted that the situation could still be salvaged if help were provided in time.
Unfortunately, the report fell into the hands of the very people whom General Wedemeyer had criticized. Consequently, it was buried in department files for nearly 2 years and was not brought to light until long after it was too late to take the action it recommended.

By September, 1949, the Communist leaders were already wildly celebrating their victory as they set up the “People’s Republic of China”.
