The CCP was devoid of communists to begin with. Most people saw them as the best way for China to take its rightful place in the world. Note that it took two years to abolish communism after Mao died.

Yea, so who has nukes at this point is pretty irrelevant. We can just assume it's currently only USA and USSR who have them. Also, Cuba player, you need to post soon. I can't really do much until you do since East Germans are kind of obsessed with Cuba right now.

We signed our treaty on Feb. 14th, 1950, because otherwise it'd never stop being January.
