The 'White' Chinese
#2
I would guess those that served Chaing Kai-shek and the Koumintang are the whites. Like during the Russian Civil War with the Bolshevik Reds and the Tsarist Whites, the Soviets used "Red" and "White" to show the difference between their fraternal communist brothers (Reds) and the anti-marxist/imperial forces (Whites). In China's context, Red would mean the forces under Mao Tse Tung.
