What would be necessary to have a *PRC equivalent pretty much limited to the territories occupied by the Soviet Army up to 1946 IOTL, i.e. Manchuria and parts of Inner Mongolia, at least as a starting territory (with the caveat additional acquisitions would be backed by Soviet military involvement in the rest of Inner Mongolia or Xinjiang)?
I would think that it would require a very different strategical and political approach to revolutionary conflict, more defensive and/or conservative, and pretty much spelling an absence of Maoist leadership in the 30's.
Of course, that would have massive consequences in the history of China (development of a ROC without its traditional industrial heartland, no or lesser Chinese involvement in North Korea if the conflict even happens, etc.) I'd like to explore and to have your opinion on.
Focusing on this *PRC/North China I'd say no Maoist leadership would probably make *PRC much more aligned along the lines of North Korea or Rumania (i.e. with a decent level of autonomy and eventual de-sattelization) along with possible loss of territories in favour of a more successfully irredentist Mongolia. Would this state (if the description is somewhat plausible) be at term viable or not in an eventual collapse of the Soviet Bloc?
