"The newspaper reminded Taipei that the PLA routed the
eight million-strong Nationalist army in a civil war in 1949."

The only problem with this statement is the PLA did not do it alone.
When the end of the World War 2 came, the Japanese were confused and
demoralized.  Then the communist Russians came in to fight and pilfer
what Japan had built.  It wasn't the PLA alone that beat back the
Kuomintang, but the obstenate Russian army at the time.
