Original sentence: As a result, the ROC has been able to hold on to a number of offshore islands of Fujian, and has continued to maintain a separate Fujian provincial government to govern these islands, parallel to the province of Fujian in mainland China.During the Chinese Civil War, the ROC lost control of mainland China, including most of Fujian province, and was forced to relocate to Taiwan, while the victorious communist forces established the PRC in 1949.Most of the authority at the Fujian province level has been delegated to the two county governments of Quemoy and Lienchiang.Recently, the ROC has significantly diluted the powers of the two provinces it governs, namely Taiwan and Fujian.Since 1949, Fujian has been split between two separate governments: the vast majority of Fujian province has been governed by the People's Republic of China; while a number of offshore islands have been governed by the Republic of China (Taiwan).With the easing of cross-Straits relationships and the democratization of the ROC in the 1990s, the islands were returned to civilian government in 1992
