List of leaders of the Chinese Republic
From Roses, Tulips, & Liberty
This list of leaders of the Chinese Republic includes the heads of state and heads of government since 1931. The President of the Republic (相民國, Śiang mín-gwó), the head of state, is elected by a College of Electors, the members of the College itself chosen by provincial legislatures. The President appoints the head of government known as the Chief General Secretary (首相, Sowśiang). As per the 1931 Articles of Unification, the President cannot dismiss the Chief General Secretary, often leading to administrations where China de facto adopts a diarchy or dual-executive system. Both leaders are ultimately subject to the approval of the National Parliament.
