::We can use Kuomintang (China) according to our disambiguation policies. "Kuomintang of China" is too misleading--it sounds like an official name. The problem is that this party has not been in China since 1949, but instead had ruled Taiwan for most of the last 60 years. Is not "Kuomintang" the version used in Taiwan as opposed to the pinyin version of Guomindang? If so then I assume the mainland parties are called Guomindang.
