the US had a very long history of helping the nationalist government of China.. before 1949, they were the US's biggest allies in Asia.
this only increased after 1949 of course, but in the form of Taiwan... heck, 'China' wasnt even recognised as a country for mmmaanny years..
and yeh, the main role of the US navy in S.E Asia after Vietnam has been to 'defend' Taiwan. and sell it weapons.
