Why did Mao Zedong change the name to PRC instead of proclaiming himself the new leader of ROC after Chiang Kai-Shek and the KMT fled to Taiwan?
That makes sense. So, how did the KMT react to the formation of the PRC?
The KMT, which was still in control of Taiwan at the time, actually initially claimed that they were still the rightful government of all of China, including the mainland.
