C. Success
They thought it was a dream. It was a huge deal back then.
Answer:
Between 1920 and until the early 1940s, the only communist country was the Soviet Union, where the first communist revolution, led by Vladimir Lenin, was successful in 1917.
From the early 1940s onward, communism began to expand rapidly to many areas in the world. For example, after the end of World War II, the Soviet Union expanded communism in Eastern European Countries like Poland, Hungary, and Romania, where it installed puppet governments.
In 1949, another important country became comunist: China. Led by Mao Zedong, the Chinese communists won the civil war against the Chinese nationalists (the Kuomintang, who later fled to Taiwan). In the same year, the Chinese People's Republic was proclaimed.

China was itself an established empire and could not be conquered the same way as they did Africa and India.
What you are saying is basically equal to saying why not land in England (during that period) and turn everyone into slaves.
Since that is impossible, establishing spheres of influence allows major powers to break China from the inside.
The major powers of europe, Japan, and America ganging up on china during those days is the main reason behind China's firm foreign policy today.
