Abstract

[The period between the fall of 1944 and the end of the war in August 1945 was a year of critical importance, one in which America’s China policy changed from a wartime policy to a postwar one. During the whole War of Resistance, that policy can be roughly summarized as supporting Chiang and tolerating the Communists against the Japanese. Such a policy played a role in aiding China to resist the Japanese and preventing the rupture of China’s anti-Japanese national united front, and it served the main objective of resisting the Japanese. Toward the end of the war, the situation changed. The principal conflict—the War of Resistance—was about to be settled, but the contradiction between the two parties came more and more to the fore as a major challenge for U.S. policymakers. So, U.S. policy toward China in the postwar period shifted from one of supporting Chiang and tolerating the CPC in order to check Japan to one of supporting Chiang against the Communists.]
