What was the result of the Chinese civil war after ww11?

The Chinese Civil War, which resumed after World War II, culminated in 1949 with the victory of the Communist Party of China (CPC) led by Mao Zedong. The Kuomintang (KMT) government, led by Chiang Kai-shek, retreated to Taiwan, where it continued to assert itself as the legitimate government of China. The victory established the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1949, while the KMT maintained control over Taiwan, leading to a prolonged period of tension between the two.
