AHC: Mainland controlled by ROC, Taiwan controlled by PRC.

How does a Red Taiwan survive when all the naval powers that could potentially protect it will be actively hostile? And if China is nationalist, all of Korea is probably ruled by the Republic of Korea, leaving Soviet influence in Asia severely curtailed.

Thought this would be a fun one. How to reverse the control of Taiwan and the Chinese Mainland?
Not possible. The PLAN didn’t exist until 1950 (started by defecting vessels from the ROCN) and the ROCN was strong enough to destroy any miscellaneous unarmed vessels that the PLA would gather trying to escape to Taiwan. The measly USSR Pacific Fleet couldn’t assist a PLA evacuation if opposed by the USN.
 
The Chinese communist party had essentially no presence on Taiwan, due to Taiwan's having been a Japanese colony for half a century. So a POD for a communist Taiwan would need to be a Chinese victory in the first Sino-Japanese war. Basically it requires a China and Taiwan that are very unrecognizable.
