From the Paper:

"In terms of history, Taiwan became separated from China when the mainland went communist under Mao Zedong in 1949. The nationalists under Chiang Kai-shek retreated to Taiwan with significant human and financial resources. It is sometimes reported that China's national treasury was significantly depleted by Chiang Kai-shek before his departure to Taiwan, which arguably led to years of struggle on the mainland as food shortages were a matter of record. Despite being separated from China in an independent state, "People on Taiwan and mainland are all Chinese; we share the same cultural heritage and historical experiences. The major difference at the current stage is
our social and political systems" (Chang, 1999)."
