China might spread communism to its neighbors.
Explanation: Mao’s victory created fear of a “domino effect” — that a communist China would support revolutionary movements and help neighboring countries (Korea, Vietnam, parts of SE Asia) turn communist, undermining U.S. influence and allies. It was not that China was likely to abandon communism, and at the time it was allied with the Soviet Union rather than likely to go to war with it.
