With the defeat of chiang kai-shek and the nationalists in 1949, republicans charged that truman and the democrats had "lost" china. which of the following statements does not accurately reflect what having "lost" china meant? a- china lost its seat on the security council. b- mainland china was lost to the communists. c- american businesses lost the enormous chinese market. d- christian missionaries lost the right to operate in mainland china.

A- China lost its seat on the Security Council.

Explanation:

in the twentieth century, it is possible to conclude that it is

presidential power that holds out the greatest risks to both

liberty and democracy. the president is by far the most visible leader in the nation; he is often the only person in government with a national constituency. moreover, he is
