Kuomintang
Nationalist Chinese party
Kuomintang is the Chinese Nationalist Party, founded in 1912 and led by Chiang Kai-shek after 1925.
After losing the Chinese Civil War to the Communists in 1949, the Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan, where it ruled as a one-party state until democratization in the 1990s.
The party remains active in Taiwanese politics.
