The Communist leader Mao Zedong led Northern China. The Nationalist leader Chiang Kai-Shek led Southern China. A civil war broke out between the two groups. The Americans favored the south because they opposed communism. Some corrupt Nationalist leaders fled to Taiwan for help. The U.S. didn't help fight, but did send over supplies and money. The U.S. had failed containment and should have provide greater support to the Nationalist. The U.S was afraid communism would spread.
