Especially for the Chinese, we pulled the butts out of the fire during WWII and they repaid us by dumping Chang Kai Shek(I know the spelling is wrong but that is how it is pronounced)and installing Mao, the wonderful communist leader.
No apologies for past wrongs that were perpetrated by someone else.

Chiang Kai-shek. Close enough. I read somewhere that Churchill called him “Peanut” behind his back.
To be fair to “the Chinese,” Shekky and the KMT were dumped with more than a little help from the men at Foggy Bottom and their “fellow travellers.” Can you say “Owen Lattimore”?
