In some areas maybe, but not many. Certainly not EMP.

Hiroshima-sized bomb then.

Correct - they would not. The "Tibet Improvement Party" was a small, regional, group, with the only members being from one of the small minorities. Useless group. Had no support among Tibetans, and wouldn't. RoC would not do that - and you'd see outside intervention if they tried. Even a couple of years later, truth be told, the PRC could not have managed it, given India.

If the Long March is thwarted, then there is, realistically, no civil war. Would more or less never be let back in.

If the Chinese Civil War ends after WWII, and maybe even during it, then NK goes to the Soviets for a mandate - and then you have war. If the CCW ends before WWII, then the mandate goes to China, and there is no Korean War, as the two halves merge.
