We first supported the Democratic side during the Chinese Civil War when Mao Zedong tried to take over China. Mao Zedong eventually won, and took over China and made it a communist government. In the US, Republicans were alarmed by the loss of China to the communists and blamed the Democrats for the disaster. Stalin and Mao signed a Sino-Soviet pact, which seemed to provide further proof of a worldwide Communist conspiracy.
