How was the "real" china chosen?
a civil war was fought for four years involving the kuomintang and the communists in china. the civil war split china in two. by 1949, the communists under mao zedong had rallied millions of peasants in northern china and swept southward moving the kuomintang farther south until they fled to taiwan, where they established the republic of china. mainland china would become the people’s republic of china under mao zedong. the two china’s have been separate ever since, and both claim to be the “real” china. taiwan developed into an economic powerhouse, but lost its credibility when the un and the u. s recognized the people’s republic of china as the true china.
