That is because the PRC was a Nationalist Government during the World War II era. It was a Nationalist country from 1900-1949. The Chinese Civil War took place before WWII (interupted by the 2nd Sino-Japanese War, Later continued in 1945), and the Communist Party managed to chase the Nationalist Party out of mainland China, and today the Nationalist Party Rules Taiwan. ____________________
