and what of the Taiwanese people? The people who were there before the Chinese nationalists decided to move in?

They didn't go anywhere, their political reality just changed quite a bit. The Taiwanese people welcomed the Nationalists at first, they just couldn't have known that they'd never were going to leave. Not that Taiwan was ever all that seperate from China anyway. The radical Maoists scared the government in Taiwan just as much as in the rest of China. In any event, it is helpful to think of Taiwan as the second China. There's the communist China, and there's the leftover nationalist China in Taiwan.
