China used to be a very powerful and advanced country long time ago. It stopped moving on since the governor closed its doors in Qing dynasty. Wars and unequal treaties happened all the time, until 1 January 1912, the Republic of China was established by Sun Yat-sen. The presidency was given to Yuan Shikai who is not a good person, then In the late 1920s, Chiang Kai-shek, the Kuomintang, started to control China.
The Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945), a theatre of World War II , forced an uneasy alliance between the Kuomintang and the Communists. After the battle with Japan, Kuomintang lost out to Communists and retreated offshore, reducing the ROC's territory to only Taiwan , Hainan, and their surrounding islands. On 1 October 1949, Communist Party Chairman Mao Zedong proclaimed the establishment of the People's Republic of China which is known as new China nowadays.
