Obviously very implausible but so is basically every Nazi Victory scenario, so...
Let's just say that for whatever reason the Nazis are much MUCH more successful during Barbarossa, with Leningrad, Moscow, and Stalingrad falling by 1943 and from they are the war drags on into a horrific stalemate that ends with a (probably) unofficial ceasefire by 1945, with the rump Soviet Union being left with only Eastern Russia (and it's Siberian and Central Asian territories obviously). By the end of the war the Soviet Union is a devastated de-facto military junta closely aligned with the United States (the new partyline is that America is a progressive force for change actually and communists should support it as a lesser of two evils).
Meanwhile despite being thrown out of North Africa, the WAllies fail to make amy Headway into invading Europe proper, even with use of nuclear weapons in the late stages of the war. A bitter piece of exhaustion and war weariness is made in 1947. A war ravaged but largely victorious Germany is the overlord of continental Europe.
Meanwhile Japan is starved, bombed, and nuked into submission, unconditionally surrendering by late 1946.
So the usual assumption is that the KMT ends up coming out on top in these types of Nazi Cold War scenarios, presumably because of significant American support (and perhaps more importantly the lack of Soviet aid).
But that said, are there any circumstances where despite all of these changes the CCP still comes out the Victor of the Chinese Civil War in control of at least most of mainland China? And if they do win by the early to mid 50s, what does this alternate Maoist China look like, after potentially an even longer Civil War and a horribly mangled Soviet Union to it's North that is more or less, at least for the time being, a de-facto American US client state. How does this alt-PRC likely influenced the Cold War and the global communist movement by extension?
