1949 marks the founding of a new regime, or a new party-state, not the founding of a new country. Essentially, the totalitarian communist party-state achieved a military victory over the authoritarian nationalist party-state. The military overthrow of an overly dictatorial party-state by an even more dictatorial party-state is hardly something to celebrate.
