When you ask this question, are you referring to Red China or Nationalist China? Because there were TWO China's during the cold war time frame: Communist China headed by Mao & Nationalist China led by Chang Kai Shek.
The Nationalist Army, led by Chiang Kai-shek, was forced to flee to Taiwan following the Chinese Civil War against the Communist forces led by Mao Zedong. This retreat happened in 1949, and the Nationalist government established the Republic of China on the island.
Mao Tse-Tung
China has never had a president elected by the people as do Western countries like France, the United States, Canada, Mexico, and others. It is a Western concept. * In World War 2 China had two main leaders. The Nationalist Chinese were led by Chang Kai-Shek and supported by the Western Allies, namely the US. The Communist, or Red Chinese, were led by Mao Tse Tung and supported by Communist countries, namely the USSR. After the war, Mao took over the entire country except for the island of Formosa (Taiwan) where the Nationalists still rule today with the US on their side. * Chang Kai-Skek may be the closest Chinese equivalent to a president in World War 2, but he was really more like a warlord than a president.
One answer is that the Chinese Communist, led by Mao-Tse Tung, and the Nationalist, led by Chiang Kai-Shek, worked together in World War II to fight against the Japanese. However, after the war, the two resumed the Chinese Civil War and the communist won, and they are still in power as of today.
