I'm really sorry if this is a huge AH cliché, because frankly it seems like one to me, not that I've noticed any TLs or WIs on it. But I was browsing wikipedia and began looking at Taiwan and it set me wondering...
What if the Chinese nationalists win the Chinese civil war?
Assuming they did what would China's economy be like as of 2008?
How would this affect the cold war? And WWII, pending on when they would have won the civil war-when would/could have been most plausible?
How would this affect the outcome of the korean war? That is if there was one.
