List of Vice Presidents of China
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of all Vice President of the Republic of China (1912-1917, 1948-present) and Vice President of the People's Republic of China (1949-present).
The Vice President of China can refer to:
Vice President of the Republic of China (head of state of the Republic of China which currently controls Taiwan but administered Mainland China from 1912 to 1949)
Vice President of the People's Republic of China (head of state of the People's Republic of China under the 1982 constitution)
Although the two offices have the same name in English, their names in Chinese are very different. The President of the PRC is called 副主席 (fùzhǔxí), formerly translated as Vice Chairman, while the ROC President is called 副總統 (fùzǒngtǒng).
To avoid confusion, all the names on this list follow the Eastern convention (family name first, given name second) for consistency.
