The Chinese Communist Party has ruled mainland China as the People's Republic of China (PRC) since 1949 when it won the civil war against the Republic of China (ROC) (1912-1949). In 1949, the ROC retreated to island nation of Taiwan (Formosa), and in 1988 Taiwan began to transition to an democratically-elected Republic, which remains today.
Communist China believes in the supremacy of the Communist State and Marxist-Maoist Ideology. The Communist Chinese Government is opposed to the idea of Freedom, the International Rules-Based Order, the rights of other nations (other than their own), and the rights of the individual. The Communist Government remains the largest persecutor and murderer of the Chinese People, with their founder Mao Zedong being responsible for the Mass Murder of an estimated 42 to 110 Million Chinese during his time alone (1949-1976). Today, Chairman Xi, believes he is bringing China back to and fulfilling Mao's vision for China.
