as Mao started sweeping through China in 1948 he started systematically imprisoning and beating US diplomats, partly to stop them from filing reports that he was getting support from Moscow
Dean Acheson, then secretary of state, thought this was all fine because it would let the US disengage from the KMT and then American influence would magically make Mao a happy Westerner he cut off support to the KMT Congress was super pissed

oh interesting during the Korean War, US bombing killed Mao's son, perhaps preventing the formation of a proper dynastyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao_Anying
as part of the Korean War Era CCP anti-American culture propaganda the Party enlisted hysterical testimonials from Chinese housewives about how Hollywood movies had ruined their lives
it didnt work. The People wanted their movies
the "china hands" who were obvious communist sympathizers when they weren't operatives were driven out of government by mccarthy they found ready employment in universities where among other things they insisted the Great Leap Forward famines were fake
