They need to reach back further it was Truman who let the French back in Indochina.

The French expected to have their possessions back, as did the Brits, Dutch, Belgians, etc. This issue was the basis for suspicion amongst the Allies over what they would "claim" after WW II. Read "Retribution" by Max Hastings, which covers the last year of the war in Asia.
I don't think Truman "lost" China (not supporting Chiang Kai Shek) since the generalissimo and his people were more corrupt than the French were in Indochina. The Nationalists were looters of their own country. Unfortunately, Mao was the uniter.
