China has always been an independent nation, although somewhat weak during the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. It did not obtain freedom, or independence, from any country in 1949 or any other modern year.

A notable event in 1949 was that the Nationalist Chinese government, loosing in battle to the Communists, withdrew to Taiwan. As a result, a Communist government was established in Beijing claiming to represent all of China, and a Nationalist / capitalist government was established on Taiwan claiming to represent all of China.
