"The civil war between the two parties has never truly ended."
Brief explanation:
- After 1949 the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) established the People’s Republic of China on the mainland; the Kuomintang (KMT, Nationalists) retreated to Taiwan and continued the Republic of China government there. No formal peace treaty ending the 1940s–50s civil war was ever signed.
- Today the mainland is governed solely by the CCP; Taiwan is a separate, democratic polity with its own government and parties (including the KMT). Cross-strait relations fluctuate between cooperation (trade, travel) and heightened political/military tension. The PRC formally asserts sovereignty over Taiwan and has not renounced the use of force to achieve unification.
- The other statements are incorrect: power is not divided between East and West; not all of China is Communist (Taiwan is not under PRC control); and people on the mainland do not elect national leaders from competing parties every four years (Taiwanese voters do elect their leaders democratically).
