Answer:

A- China lost its seat on the Security Council.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the Defeat of Kai-shek by the communist revolution of Mao ZeDong, the United States lost a great partner and ally in Asia, that had several important markets and was open for trade with the United States, this also meant that another country fell under the influence of the soviets, and that they´d initiate their own efforts on political influence on the pacific coast of asia, and that christian missionaries as they were now under a communist regimen couldn´t operate in mainland China, the only thing that it didn´t mean is that China lost its seat on the security council because they hold it until this day.
