...reassuring promises to the Chinese might conceivably make some sense, but they had also brought Communist China a long step closer to capturing the U.N. membership now held by Nationalist China. Even the U.S., which had long opposed Red China's claims, had been forced to admit by implication that the Communists were China's real rulers...

Your condemning of it is not only indicative of your complete adherence to the party line, and of your lack of originality, but it is also an insult...
