What can be considered an effect of the Chinese Civil War and Chine becoming communist?

Tensions between China and the US increased

The expulsion of Communists from the Chinese Government in 1927

Nothing really changed

Japan’s invasion of China in 1937

Tensions between China and the US increased: One effect of the Chinese Civil War and China becoming communist was the increase in tensions between China and the United States. The US government viewed the spread of communism in China as a threat to its own influence and interests in the region, leading to a deterioration in relations between the two countries.

The expulsion of Communists from the Chinese Government in 1927: Another effect of the Chinese Civil War and China becoming communist was the expulsion of Communists from the Chinese Government in 1927. After the Nationalist Party (Kuomintang) led by Chiang Kai-shek split from the Communist Party, a violent campaign was launched by the Nationalist Party to eliminate the Communist influence from the government.

Japan’s invasion of China in 1937: The Chinese Civil War weakened China's ability to defend itself against external threats, and this vulnerability was exploited by Japan. The Japanese invasion of China in 1937 marked the beginning of the Second Sino-Japanese War, in which Japan occupied large portions of Chinese territory, leading to a prolonged and destructive conflict that had significant social, economic, and political consequences for China.

Therefore, both increased tensions between China and the US and Japan's invasion of China in 1937 can be considered as effects of the Chinese Civil War and China becoming communist.
