The Soviet Union aided China from 1938 to 1941. During this period, the West did not provide aid to the Soviet Union, during this period, the Soviet Union provided a large number of interest-free loans and free aid to China. More importantly, a large and sufficient supply of weapons was provided. The most elite Kuomintang troops were already using Soviet weapons. And what was the United States doing? They are exporting oil and scrap steel to Japan. Of course, this history has been deliberately erased by the Taiwanese government. But the Chinese people always remember them. Up to now, there are monuments and memorials to commemorate Soviet pilots in Wuhan.They wouldn't have been able to do that if they themselves weren't getting weapons and food from the UK and US.
