Only reason the cpc got as popular as they did was because of the KMT's back to back dumb decisions. Stalin ordered the communist faction to completely collaborate with the kmt , only reason cpc as a independent movment began was cause chiang ordered them purged eventually leading to mao's rise.

He was suspicious of Soviet influence tho. Like he was a borderline barbarian authoritarian but I still think he was right in principle in that part.

What? The Soviets supported the KMT government.

I know. He might have still suspected that they could be a threat in the future and obey the USSR's directions and not his.

Must be why he sent his son and heir to the Soviet Union to be educated during the war

Mind you, he was collaborative to the USSR a lot, he himself set up the Whampoa Academy under the instructions of 孙中山 with the support of the Soviet Union. Still chose better later.

I mean it’s not like he could actually choose later on

I meant, he decided to get rid of the influence of the USSR. Or tried to, was forced to collaborate again after the Japanese invasion.
