who did the soviet union support in china civil war?
the ccp
in late 1917, moscow and petrograd were taken over by a communist group called the bolsheviks, through october revolution. this caused a civil war in russia between the bolshevik red army and the anti-communist white forces. china's beiyang government sided with the whites, and along with most of the colonial powers, sent troops to fight against the reds. in 1922 the reds won the civil war and established a new country: the soviet union, or union of soviet socialist republics (ussr). from 1923 onward the ussr provided aid and support to the kuomintang, a chinese faction opposed to the beiyang government. in alliance with the small communist party of china (ccp), the kuomintang seized power in 1928 and the two countries established diplomatic ties. sino-soviet relations remained fractious, and they fought two wars in the next ten years. nevertheless, the ussr under joseph stalin gave help to chiang kai-shek's kuomintang government against imperial japan. stalin told the ccp's leader mao zedong to cooperate with china's kuomintang regime. mao attacked the kuomintang anyway, but the ccp failed to overthrow chiang's nationalist government. in 1937 the kuomintang and the ccp formed a new alliance to oppose the japanese invasion of china, but they resumed fighting each other in 1942. after japan had been defeated in 1945, the two chinese factions signed a truce, but the chinese civil war soon erupted again between them. in 1949, with soviet support, the ccp won the chinese civil war and established the people's republic of china, which made an alliance with the ussr. mao became the prc's first leader. mao's most radical supporters, who became known as 'the gang of four', gradually eliminated most of mao's rivals throughout his twenty-seven years in power.
history of sino-russian relations
in april, 2018, the china civil aviation authority, wrote a letter to 36 airlines throughout the world, including us airlines delta, united, and american, canadian airline air canada, japan airlines, ana, air new zealand, qantas, etc., demanding that they change travel destination cities in taiwan in their websites to list them under "taiwan, province of china", or directly list them as, for example, "taipei, china" and "kaohsiung, china". air canada and other non-us airlines quickly complied. however, us airlines requested a time extension to consider the issue, and replied to the china civil aviation authority that they will confer with the u.s. government regarding the course of action. the white house responded by labeling the move as "orwellian nonsense". the china civil aviation authority therefore extended the deadline for us airlines to july 25, 2018 for compliance.
