There’s a fairly large stretch of history between the end of the Imperial court, the founding of the Republic, and Mao’s victory and founding of the People’s Republic.
I suggest focusing on more specific issues or events such as is if the Long March had resulted in the collapse of Mao’s Army, or if the Soviet Red Army was too exhausted after the war in Europe ended to assist in China.
Or a reformist agenda in the old Imperial Court perhaps?
