Not really, the Allies would have been fighting with the Nationalist Chinese (Then again, as I said, assuming they continued to be part of the Allies), which were severely weakened by the war. Support for the Communists grew significantly after the war and would have grown even more if the Nationalist government got itself into yet another war, and the Allies would have to contend with them too.
