China was an American ally right up to 1949. Americans were pretty fond of China before and during WWII.

Only some of China though. The US and the Republic of China are still pretty close. The US and the People's Republic of China on the other hand... Part of the US's demands for Japanese capitulation were that Japanese forces could not surrender to Mao's army, but only Chiang Kai-shek.
