There was a group of communist soldiers fighting against Japanese invaders in northeast China Manchuria when KMT didn't officially do anything about that. Actually Chiang attacked communist army even when they were fighting together against Japan in later years. When it comes to Seige of Changchun, why KMT didn't go out fighting and just stay and rob people's food? Why didn't they just surrender or went out start to fight? Why waited to surrender in the end but with poor people had nothing to eat. That was a shame indeed. It was a cruel civil war, I cannot say which side is strictly morally superior, given innocent people got starved . Mao was a complicated person, there are people who thank him throughout life and people who hate him till death. He has done good and bad, he got rid of land lords, get the country united again, push hard on public education and extreme equality, but he also conducted the great leap and destructive political battles. it'll wait for probably another century that some historians can have some better estimation.
