I want to know the answer to the following question:
When was the People's Republic of China formed?
All the background I'm provided with is that "After the establishment of the People's Republic of China in October 1949, Nanjing was initially a province-level municipality, but it was soon merged into Jiangsu province and again became the provincial capital by replacing Zhenjiang which was transferred in 1928, and retains that status to this day.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
