This strip appeared about five months after the declaration of the People’s Republic of China. Taiwan named itself the Republic of China. Many Americans of the day referred to the PRC as “Communist China” or “Mainland China” and the ROC as simply “China”. I know nothing about the financial status of either in January of 1950, and am not clear which entity Bushmiller means here.
