What is the current dynasty?
Are Deng and Mao in the same one?

[-] emelia@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think it is obvious I don't know anything about China. Stuff I found out after skimming the Wikipedia articles:

The current dynasties aren't listed (they probably can't be called that) and are apparently:

  • Republic of China (see response)
  • People's Republic of China

Mao:

Finally, on 1 October 1949, Communists led by Mao Zedong founded the People's Republic of China.

Deng:

was a Chinese politician who served as the paramount leader of the People's Republic of China from December 1978 to November 1989.

Oh ROC is Taiwan, idk why it's on the graph then.

The ROC was the legitimate government of China for a few decades there. They were so unpopular they lost a civil war with the communists despite initially outnumbering the communists.

I think it was over 2 million on the ROC side (+western support) and 1.2 million on the communist side.

They lost all territory that's not the island of Taiwan, due to the CPC not having a proper navy. They still claim to be the legitimate government of mainland China, it's not a breakaway state. They literally never surrendered.
