Most likely what you are referring to was the exile of Chaing Kai-Shek's Nationalist forces to Formosa after fighting the communists under Mao, around 1947-1949.  You'd have to say that Chaing Kai-shek was the man who lost China.

It was a civil war of sorts, because after the Second World War Ho Chi Minh had taken power in North Vietnam, using this power base to try to evict France from all of Indochina and after Dien Bien Phu when France did withdraw a UN agreement split Indochina into four parts. This is where the civil war began, the Communists under Ho Chi Minh had a great deal of prestige because they had been a fairly successful opponent against the Japanese, while the US had recruited known collaborators for their puppet South Vietnam (similar to how the two Koreas were set up). While the regime in the north was brutal, the one in the south became even worse.\n\nThe US continued its support to the South Vietnamese government, but it never actually confronted the south about cleaning up its act, which continued to make it vulnerable to lose support from the people.

China..War isn't just who'se got more tanks and more missiles.\nThe chinease people are more cultured and better educated and the average chinease citizen knows far more about the outside world than the average American, they are not apt ot belive in such fairy tales like those that fill the amrican media about other nations and therefore they are less apt to getshoked when facing the real world in a real world.\nBesides, the educational system in china is better, and is not weakened by a weird control of regressive religious thought as the case with america andtherefore the chinease aremore innovative and can produce better research, which helps in modernizing weapons.\nThe chinease production is the highest in the world(500 major industrial cities!)and their rate of development is staggering(from 10-16% yearly!) They can afford a long war(and it has to be loong causeyou just can`t destroy the whole of china by a sudden nuclear strike, not unless you wish to commit suicide!)\nIn short China have wisdom, innovation and culture + a very modern army+ 1.3 billion citizens, most of them youth who are able to serve and ell trained for fighting.\nLets hope such war will never happen.\n\nAnd again it isn`t amatter of who spends more. USA is having a major problem in Iraq despite being a million times richer! And USA will not dare attack Iran despite having a far superior army, war isnt that simple, it isn`t a fight in a bar:)

After the end of WW II, the Chinese Communist Party succeeded in controling the country and driving out the forces of Chang Kai Schek ( sp? ) in 1949.  China has to go its own direction.

During the Second Sino Japanese War (from 7th July 1937 till 9th September 1945),\n\nLocation:  China  \n\nThe number of Casualties :\nChina -  3,200,000 military,17,530,000 civilians  = 20.73 million\nJapan -  1,100,000 military = 1.1million\n\nPlus, the war created 95 million refugees in China\n\nThe Japanese recorded around 1.1 million military casualties, killed, wounded and missing. There were a lot of various claims about the Japanese casualties. The official death-toll according to the Japan defense ministry was only about 200 thousand. But this is believed to be highly unlikely-- the number is far too small. The Chinese (both the communists and nationalists) claimed to have at most killed 1.77 million of Japanese soldiers during the 8-year-war but it would be an exaggeration (copy from below first website)\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Japanese_War_(1937-1945)\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_East_Asia_War_in_the_Pacific

Remember role in ending fascist war \n         \n\n\nCommemorative activities have been held nationwide to mark the 60th anniversary of victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and of the world war against fascism. It is understandable that China attaches great importance to the anti-fascist war. \n\nIt was the first victorious war the Chinese people fought to repel foreign aggression since the First Opium War in 1840. Triumph came through the united struggle and unprecedented sacrifice of hundreds of millions of the Chinese people, overseas Chinese included. \n\nVictory was also achieved through the concerted effort of the allied nations. China greatly appreciates the important contributions to the defeat of Japan made by the United States, Britain, the former Soviet Union and all Asia-Pacific nations, big and small, weak and strong. \n\nChina has not forgotten, and will never do, the sympathy and assistance given to it by all of the allied nations. \n\nBut the world should not overlook or forget the great contribution made by China during the war against Japanese aggression and against the fascist axis. \n\nUnfortunately, some Western histories of World War II consciously or unconsciously play down the Chinese contribution. The China theatre of operations is usually treated as a liability, rather than an asset. \n\nWhen factors contributing to the defeat of Japan are analyzed, some Western historians simply stress the US Army and Navy's offensives in the Pacific, their strategic bombing of the Japanese homeland, or even the atomic bombs, but to a lesser degree, the Soviet Far Eastern Campaign. \n\nAll of these elements are significant. But what about China? Few mention it. \n\nThe Chinese deserve commendation for their fighting that led to victory. \n\nChina's resistance against Japanese aggression lasted for 14 years - longer than any other major power in the world. The first six years following the Mukden Incident of 1931 was a period of local resistance, while the eight years after the Lugouqiao Incident of 1937 was a time of full-scale national struggle for independence and dignity. \n\nChina was the main theatre of war in the Far East with a front line spanning 5,000 kilometres, with more than 1 million square kilometres of territory behind the enemy's front line. \n\nWhen fighting was most intense, more than 5 million Chinese regular forces and 2 million guerrillas kept nearly 2 million Japanese forces plus more than 1 million Chinese puppet forces at bay. \n\nIn fact, more than two-thirds of the Japanese Army's strength was focused on the China theatre. During the initial stage of the Pacific War, 35 divisions out of a total of 51, including the strong Japanese Kwantung Army stationed in Northeast China, were pinned down. Thus Japan was able to employ only 10 or 11 divisions in the Pacific theatre, with the other five divisions stationed on Japanese islands. \n\nAs late as in 1944, large Japanese forces that were badly needed in the Pacific were still engaged in China. This was the case even by early August 1945. \n\nIn the eight years of total war, Chinese forces conducted 22 large-scale campaigns, more than 200 major operations and 200,000 battles. Japan sustained losses and casualties totalling 1.5 million in China. \n\nAt the end of the war, China accepted the surrender of 1.28 million Japanese soldiers. \n\nBy comparison, the allied American and British forces killed, wounded and captured a total of 1.25 million of the Japanese forces. \n\nChina's efforts helped the American forces fighting in the Pacific. Western military historians generally are keenly aware of this fact, but often stop short of pointing out the reason why the Japanese were unable to transfer forces from China to the Pacific. \n\nThe Chinese people persevered in carrying on the war of resistance to the very end. China played an important role in weakening Japan's forces and blocking their southward th

China.  They have an ongoing problem with Japan, and they could invade Taiwan.  This would be a BIG problem.

Nationalist retreated to Taiwan and Communist conquered and unified the mainland Chinese. Nationalist planned to attack and gain the mainland back between 1950 to 1986. After 1986, President Chiang Ching-kuo lifted the martial law and started to abandon the military attack plan.\n\nThere're some crisis happened between them after 1950, communist tried to attack Kinmen and Matsu, but failed. Since then, nationalists also intented to launch a surprise attack on mainland by taking advantage from Korean war (1950-1953). But, without support from the US, they gived their plan up.

They were divided into North Korea and South Korea with Nationalism being a problem. Also North Korea was Communist and South Korea had a government supported by the United States.

Your hypothesis is plausible, but consider this.  They are a nation of 1.5 billion consumers that gives them some degree of power.  They have the potential of having the world's largest army.  Finally, the communist government is allowing free enterprise in the southern provinces.\n\nAs far as solving their problems peacefully, they have had a civil war since the cultural revolution.  Your research should have clued you in one the ethnic cleansing during the reign of Moa Tse Tung.  Regarding wanting people to immigrate.  If that is true, why do they have the one child mandate?  Is not overcrowding a major problem there?
