What was the impact of the URSS and the USA in the final outcome of the Chinese civil war
Foreign countries were interested in China for all the benefits they could get from their lands, these countries were USA and URSS
USA supported GMD allowing them made key advantages. USA supported them with 3 billion in large supplies of arms throughout world war 2 and aids, also, USA transported some GMD forces by sea and air to the north of china and the US troops took control of Tianjin and Beijing to control them until the GMD could control them alone.

The first thing that would happen in that scenario is that URSS wouldn’t have been allies, obviously USA and GMD would make china nationalist. Also, China, Japan, Korea would make an alliance.
In consequence, Soviet Union would try to take manchuria because china in that time was weak for the civil war, if Soviet Union was able to take manchuria they would use it as a base for military plans against china, in summary there would be another war between China and Soviet Union.
Conclusion
In my conclusion we can say that USA as well as URSS allied with China because of the things china could offer, for example, strategic places to war, economic treatments, etc.
The two sides GMD and CCP also needed these allies, they needed support to be able to win the war, that’s why USA supported GMD with aids and guns and URSS supported CCP with economic help aids.
The help of these powers (USA, URSS) made the result of the war changed, maybe if the GMD and CCP wouldn’t allied, the GMD could have won the war and china would become nationalist.
All the things USA and GMD gave to china was essential things for a war, but all the Chinese were in favor with CCP, that played a major role in the

    Foreign policy shifts depending on the economic and military value to the Chinese government. China is striving to obtain power and to become a great world power and a regional hegemon. The fact that China has grown so rapidly has enhanced the country’s foreign policy goals in some cases, but in other cases, China’s growth has threatened its goals. Chinese foreign policy in Asia is largely shaped not only by China’s military power, but also by China’s economic power. Economic power is exceedingly important in diplomatic relationships: Chinese officials regularly use free trade agreements, trade-facilitation agreements, and non-binding bilateral trade targets to leverage access to China’s market as a diplomatic tool in bilateral relations.…

    Despite the best efforts of the Japanese Ambassadors and American Secretary during negotiations, it seems the path to war had been set. The Japanese believed East Asia would crumble without their support, that they were the stabilizing force. Even while in talks with the Americans, Japan was preparing their Army and Navy for open hostilities. Undeterred by four years of hardship, they took for granted the support of their people in this endeavor. They posited that their demands were weak and should not be met with opposition and supposed the United States had an ulterior motive in regard to China, a key piece in the negotiations.…

    China’s power was especially weakened after the Opium Wars with Great Britain, the aftermath of which resulted in British control of Hong Kong and several unfair treaties. China, in its weakened state, soon became known as the “sick man of Asia” and several Eurasian countries, including France, Germany, Russia, and Japan, took advantage of this opportunity to increase their own power. These countries soon established settlements and spheres of influence within China, allowing them to possess certain rights and privileges within their region. It wasn’t long before China’s Imperial Court had lost the majority of its power to foreign influence. This newfound power allowed foreign countries to essentially control all Chinese trade; a reality that made foreigners wealthy, but deeply worried…
