Commies in the US (not sure how high they went at the time, but I'm guessing all the way up to FDR) decided having Mao armed would push the Japs back, and I am not under any illusion that they didn't know what Mao would do to China. The US should have thrown full support behind Chiang Kai Shek, and defeated the commies early.
The commies also hid in the hills while the nationalists fought the japs. Then when the war was over and the nationalists were fatigued they came rushing down to take what the nationalist sacrificed for
