I can't even get here. The Taiwanese were NEVER a part of the CCP. Thus, there can't be a civil war.
Taiwan's official name is the Republic of China. It's Chiang Kai-shek's government in exile. They're the descendants of the people who fought Mao and his Communists during the Chinese Civil War.
Taiwan still technically claims all of China (and Mongolia) for itself even nowadays:
"The
political status of Taiwan is contentious.
[43] The ROC no longer represents China as a member of the
United Nations, after UN members voted in 1971 to
recognize the PRC instead.
[44] The ROC maintained its claim of being the sole
legitimate representative of China and its territory, although this has been downplayed since its
democratization in the 1990s. Taiwan is claimed by the PRC, which refuses diplomatic relations with countries that recognise the ROC. Taiwan
maintains official diplomatic relations with 13 out of 193 UN member states and the
Holy See,
[44][45][46] though many others maintain unofficial diplomatic ties through
representative offices and institutions that function as
de facto embassies and consulates. International organisations in which the PRC participates either refuse to grant membership to Taiwan or allow it to participate only on a non-state basis under various names. Domestically, the major political contention is between parties favouring eventual
Chinese unification and promoting a pan-Chinese identity, contrasted with those
aspiring to formal international recognition and promoting a
Taiwanese identity; into the 21st century, both sides have moderated their positions to broaden their appeal.

Name of the country
The official name of the country in English is the "Republic of China"; it has also been known under various names throughout its existence. Shortly after the ROC's establishment in 1912, while it was still located on the Chinese mainland, the government used the short form "China" (
Zhōngguó (
中國)) to refer to itself, which derives from
zhōng ("central" or "middle") and
guó ("state, nation-state"),
[n] a term which also developed under the
Zhou dynasty in reference to its
royal demesne,
[o] and the name was then applied to the area around
Luoyi (present-day Luoyang) during the
Eastern Zhou and then to China's
Central Plain before being used as an occasional synonym for the state during the
Qing era.
[62] The name of the Republic had stemmed from the party manifesto of
Tongmenghui in 1905, which says the four goals of the Chinese revolution was "to expel the
Manchu rulers, to revive
Chunghwa, to establish a Republic, and to distribute land equally among the people.(
Chinese: 驅除韃虜, 恢復中華, 創立民國, 平均地權;
pinyin:
Qūchú dálǔ, huīfù Zhōnghuá, chuànglì mínguó, píngjūn dì quán)." The convener of Tongmenghui and Chinese revolutionary leader
Sun Yat-sen proposed the name
Chunghwa Minkuo as the assumed name of the new country when the revolution succeeded.
During the 1950s and 1960s, after the ROC government had withdrawn to Taiwan upon losing the
Chinese Civil War, it was commonly referred to as "Nationalist China" (or "
Free China") to differentiate it from "Communist China" (or "
Red China").
[64] It was a member of the United Nations representing China until 1971, when the ROC
lost its seat to the People's Republic of China. Over subsequent decades, the Republic of China has become commonly known as "Taiwan", after the main island. In some contexts, including ROC government publications, the name is written as "Republic of China (Taiwan)", "Republic of China/Taiwan", or sometimes "Taiwan (ROC)".
[65][66][67]
The Republic of China participates in most international forums and organizations under the name "
Chinese Taipei" as a compromise with the People's Republic of China (PRC). For instance, it is the name under which it has participated in the
Olympic Games as well as the
World Trade Organization. In 2009, after reaching an agreement with Beijing, the ROC participated in the
World Health Organization for the first time in 38 years, under the name "Chinese Taipei".
[68] "Taiwan authorities" is sometimes used by the PRC to refer to the current government in Taiwan.
