Except it's not. The original China government was not the ones who started the civil war.
The original China government flee to Taiwan. Thw original China government did some shitty things to locals here and continued to be as shitty as they were before the civil war started. Then in 80s and ultimately in 1997, Taiwan became a democracy and became a powerhouse for good.
Seems like modern CCP is getting to that point now.
