Convoys and stuff

Question please:

Is there anyway of the US ceasing aid to China? I selected that the US aid the Chinese early in the game, but now wish the US to keep their aid for themselves. Is this possible?

The US aid packages to China from both Hanoi and Burma are Decision Events. If you say yes at the time, there is no taking it back later.

That's what I feared. I couldn't see anything in the manual to suggest otherwise but was hoping I'd missed it.

Thanks for responding.

As far as I know, the only variant of the US aid to China that actually costs the US anything ongoing is the Hump variant of the aid - regaining either the Burma Road (Kunming-Rangoon-Mandalay-Lashio) or the Kunming-Hanoi Railroad would ensure there's no ongoing cost to the USA.

Interesting. I've just checked my income for the last turn and there is 60MPP going to China, but no other Allied nation is picking up the bill.

Thanks for clarifying.

[font="Arial"]correct,
besides, is it really logical that American aid does not cost the United States anything?[/font][:-]

Yes, it is interesting, correct, and footing the bill has continued into 2021.
