Jerry,
I believe the US presence during that time periiod was to support the Nationalist Chinese who were being over-run by Mao's forces. I don't have the date at hand, but those forces were finally pulled out by Truman .

The Navy Chit which I posted says:
THE AMERICAN ALLY'S FORCES HAVE COME TO CHINA TO PARTICIPATE IN THE WAR EFFORT. MY COUNTRY;S SOLDIERS AND CIVILIANS ONE AND ALL SHOULD LOVE AND TREASURE THEM. The left hand column reads "34th YEAR OF THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA MEANING 1945.
It seems these patches were for sale, along with many others to US NAVY personnel , apparently when the fleet sailed into Shanghai in 1945.
