The USSR kept strongly advising the Communists cooperate with the KMT against the Japanese. Which makes sense in a "deal with the greater threat first" way. Except that the KMT kept killing the Communists over and over again and could never actually be relied on. I think stuff like that bred some resentment toward the USSR who didn't seem to understand the reality of what was happening in the ground or the different conditions that existed in China. They started to sound like every other country that had ordered China around to their own detriment.
Makes sense
