- The Nationalists had close ties to the United States, with multiple Nationalist leaders having visited the U.S, particularly the First Lady of China. And the U.S. was a key supporter of the Nationalists militarily. Providing modern weapons, aircraft, heavy equipment, and training to the Nationalist Army.

Playing an important role in the Cold War and as a member of the UN Security Council. In this scenario China would be a western allied and supported state.

If the Nationalists remained in power maybe China would become somewhat more democratic after his death, like in Taiwan. However it is far more likely that China would remain a flawed democracy. Where the government ultimately maintained power through oppression.
