The Communist Party won the civil war and became the legitimate government of China. By your logic the Union is not a legitimately government and people shouldn't get upset when the South still flies Confederacy flags?

First, the Confederacy was never the legitimate government of the United States, while Chiang Kai Shek's government was in China. Second, Mao never completely overthrew all of China, just the mainland. So by your logic, well, I can't find any logic there, just an attempt to equate two very unrelatable scenarios.
