Some of them were. They just set aside their differences to focus on the greater threat (Japan). IIRC, it was largely how badly the pro-West government boggled the war effort that gave them a big boost during the revolution afterwards.

They were either way. Their government pre and during WWII was hardly democratic.

And if you had a choice, would you rather live in 1920s China or 1950s China?  It's not even close.  In fact, the comparison is laughable.
