Suppose you were a Chinese communist leader in 1950. Explain how you would have felt about the situation in China, as well as about the response of the United States to that situation
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The Chinese communists saw the existing government in China as corrupt and inefficient, leaving the Chinese people in poverty, disease, and oppression, which they believed were the causes of the civil war that developed. They viewed the Americans as "imperialists" and confiscated American property in China, leading to a hysterical reaction in the United States. This American hostility led the communist Chinese to ally more closely with the Soviet Union.
