I read about the KMT under Chiang Kai-Shek escaping from the mainland, stealing the whole Treasury, and fleeing there after they were overwhelmingly crushed by the Communist Revolution. I knew the Nationalists were fascists, raging pro-capitalists, and even in their own business affairs, were corrupt and unprincipled beyond belief. Explains why they lost. The Communists had a tremendous period of study for years following the survival of the Red Armies after the year-long Long March. No doubt, the strong reinforcement to their knowledge base coupled with their revolutionary experiences up to that point were tremendous in guiding the Communists to creating a strong, flexible program and plan to defeat the Nationalists moving forward. I don't know much of the specifics of fascist rule within Taiwan, but I can't imagine it being a good period, especially under the despotism of Chiang Kai-Shek and the KMT.
