The failure of the Communists to take the island left it in the hands of the Kuomintang (Nationalists) and crushed their chances of taking Taiwan to destroy the Nationalists completely in the war.

With foreign intervention, not only they would be able to defend the city, but also counterattack and take China back. If the city could not last until World War III, the nationalists could with ...
