D) Let me explain:
China (now Taiwan) does not have a seat in the security counsil, and communist China does. This was very bad at the time because there were now 2 communist countries on the security council (Soviets and China) (now its just commy china). Because of this the Soviets AND China had more power because they can veto together and pass regulations (which you need another members approval (at least 1)).
Mainland China with lots of people was now communist and the USA lost a large, valuable, and powerful ally.
American business was lost since China restricted trade with the USA until like the 80's but even now its still restricted as the USA buys many chineese goods whereas China tries to push away all foreign items.
Christian missionairies were not allowed to operate in communist China but the government didnt care.
