Red China: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

Following the Communist Revolution of 1949, the Kuomintang gang went to Taiwan and set up a government, meaning mainland China became Communist. The prior regime were no saints themselves--[[Chiang Kai Shek]] marked his rise to power in China with a massacre of his opponents, and courted fascism; China was receiving Nazi advisors up until ''[[World War II]]'', when Germany withdrew them so as not to work against its Japanese allies--and were not exactly seen as such by the Western media--China and Asia in general had long been [[Yellow Peril|vilified]] in popular culture--but they were seen as a lesser evil, partially due to alliance in ''[[World War II]]'', and partially due to the fact that they were unlikely to aid the Soviet Union in international disputes.

Incidentally, red is also a traditional color ''of'' [[China]], predating Marxism.
