The record
The China entries on this site are from the twentieth century: the civil war, the war with Japan, the Long March, the founding of the People's Republic, the Great Leap Forward, and the Cultural Revolution, with Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek.
Which government spoke for China after 1949 was itself disputed. This page does not settle that. It files the entries, and each entry names the state it is about.
