Since the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949, there are currently two governments claim to be the sole legitimate government of the whole "China" using two different flags. The communist government known as the People's Republic of China established by Mao Zedong in October 1949, uses the red communist flag with five golden stars in the canton flown in the mainland, Hong Kong and Macau while the nationalist government, known as the Republic of China founded in 1912 after the Xinhai Revolution continues to use the red flag with the white sun in the blue canton that has been in use since 1928 in the island of Taiwan.
