How could the ROC have still lost the civil war but kept more than Taiwan?


  • Hainan is an obvious possibility, had the ROC navy been more competent early on
  • Could they have gotten the Ryukyu islands from Japan post WWII? Few Chinese there, but that wouldn't disturbe anyone back then.
  • What about a bridgehead on the mainland? Maybe the Japanes fortify one or several costal cities so heavily, that the reds can't take them.
    Port Arthur would be the perfect candidate, but it was occupied by the Soviets OTL.
