From the Paper:

"However Communists were not to stay silent and shortly after the victory of nationalist party, the conflict between two factions gripped the nation. This civil war lasted a whole decade in which communist party was repeatedly suppressed with the help of United States that had reportedly invested $3 billion to strengthen nationalist party and stem the growth of communist elements in the region (Stoley: 117). Chiang tried to establish a nationalist government based on constitutional laws (Duiker 211) and wanted to incorporate the tradition principles of accountability, decency and moral uprightness (Duiker 214). However years of political instability and internal conflicts had left the social and political infrastructure in tatters."
