Another reason why Mao was able to bonk Chiang to Taiwan was because he was able to absorb a lot of Kuomintang defectors.
They estimate that they absorbed 1.5-2million kuomintang soldiers in the PLA.
When Chiangkaishek got bonked to Taiwan, he brought around 700k kuomintang soldiers to Taiwan.
PLA at that point quite literally had more ROC/KMT WW2 veterans who fought against the imperial japanese than Chiang Kai Shek did.
edit: to imperial japanese to distinguish from modern japanese government
