Well, because previously, China is named the Republic of China. To more closely associate themselves with the peasantry and the people, the Chinese leadership after pushing the KuominTang to Taiwan, named it the People's Republic of China to show that they are supported and run by the people.

The term "People's Republic" was commonly used by communist leaders during the 1940s and 1950s; e.g. the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea, the People's Republic of the Congo, etc.
