No? Analogies don’t have to be perfect to be useful.
I'd say there's no perfect analogy where you compare the sides in the Chinese civil war vs. the American one. The ROC was barely a functioning nation when the civil war broke out and never really unified the country completely. There was never a clean split where some provinces sided with either party. The People's republic was proclaimed in 1949 when the civil war war pretty much finished, and the ROC government moved to taipei soon after. As an analogy, the american civil war is just not very useful, and that's not even getting into stuff like which side wanted to keep slavery or landlord rule going.
