Yes, it would be Chaing Kai Shek or Jiang Jieshi. He established the Republic of China or ROC, which is known as Taiwan in 1949 after he was defeated by the Chinese Communist Party led by Mao Zedong. He held the position until his death in 1975.\n\nIf you think about it, Taiwan was really a colony of Japan after China lost the Sino Japanese War in 1895. It wasn't given back to China until Japan was defeated in WW2. So even if Sun Yatsen was considered the first president of China (he really wasn't Yuan Shikai was, because Sun struck a deal with him and promised him the presidency after the fall of the Qing) it wouldn't apply because Taiwan was not part of China in 1911.

China (simplified Chinese: 中国, Traditional Chinese: 中國, pinyin: Zhōngguó; listen (help·info)) is a geographical region in East Asia and Central Asia. With over one-fifth of the world's population, the majority of China exists today as a state known as the People's Republic of China, but it also refers to a long-standing civilization comprising successive states and cultures dating back more than 4,000 years.\n\nWith one of the world's longest periods of mostly uninterrupted civilization and the world's longest continuously used written language system, China's history has been largely characterized by repeated divisions and reunifications amid alternating periods of peace and war, and violent imperial dynastic change. The country's territorial extent expanded outwards from a core area in the North China Plain, and varied according to its changing fortunes to include multiple regions of East, Northeast, and Central Asia. (The term "China proper" is used by some observers and historians to describe the core territory historically home to the majority Han Chinese, as opposed to lands associated later with China such as what is now Xinjiang.) For centuries, Imperial China was also one of the world's most technologically advanced civilizations, and East Asia's dominant cultural influence, with an impact lasting to the present day.\n\nBy the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, however, China's political, economic, and military influence declined relative to the growing regional power of Japan and the influence of Western powers. The imperial system in China ended with the establishment of the Republic of China (ROC) under Sun Yat-sen in 1912; however, the next four decades of ROC rule were marred by warlord control, the Second Sino-Japanese War during which the Empire of Japan occupied large parts of China, and the Chinese Civil War which pitted Chinese Nationalists against the Communist forces.\n\nAfter its victory in the Chinese Civil War, the Communist Party of China under Mao Zedong established the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949, forcing the Nationalists to retreat and relocate the ROC government to the island of Taiwan, which it had governed since the end of World War II. Since then, the ROC has maintained administrative control over Taiwan, the Pescadores Islands, several islands off the coast of Fujian province including Kinmen and the Matsu Islands, and some islands in the South China Sea.\nShanghai, China's largest city\nEnlarge\nShanghai, China's largest city\nMount Tai in Shandong province\nEnlarge\nMount Tai in Shandong province\nContents\n[hide]\n\n    * 1 Terminology\n          o 1.1 "Zhongguo"--The Central Kingdom\n          o 1.2 "China"\n          o 1.3 "Cathay"\n    * 2 History\n    * 3 Chinese Pre-history\n    * 4 Political history\n    * 5 Territory\n          o 5.1 Historical overview\n          o 5.2 Historical political divisions\n          o 5.3 Geography and climate\n    * 6 Economy\n    * 7 Society\n          o 7.1 Demographics\n          o 7.2 Culture\n          o 7.3 Religion\n          o 7.4 Arts, scholarship, and literature\n          o 7.5 Science and technology\n    * 8 Miscellaneous topics\n    * 9 See also\n\n[edit]\n\nTerminology\n\n    Main article: Names of China\n\n[edit]\n\n"Zhongguo"--The Central Kingdom\nGeography of China and geographic region labels\nEnlarge\nGeography of China and geographic region labels\n\nChina is called zhong guo in Mandarin Chinese (Simplified: 中国, Traditional: 中國; also romanized as Jhongguo or Chung-kuo), which is usually translated as "Middle Kingdom."

An Asian police state?  No, China's government is in a state of flux.  Right now,  China's society seems to be stratified; there isn't much middle ground between the haves and the have nots.  The government is designed to provide for the have nots, but the power of big businesses (from outside investment) is something the government currently can't check.  In time, the government will obtain the resources to correct this imbalance.  China has no intention of subjugating its people, if that's what you mean.

Role, Task, Responsibility, and Source of Power of a Leader\n\n* The role of a leader is to create followers.\n* The task of a leader is to bring about constructive and necessary change.\n*  The responsibility of a leader is to bring about the change in a way that is responsive to the true and long-term needs of all stakeholders.\n*  The greatest source of power available to a leader is the trust that derives from faithfully serving followers.\n\nEffective Leadership as a Source of Competitive Business Advantage\n\nLeadership is imperative for molding a group of people into a team, shaping them into a force that serves as a competitive business advantage. Leaders know how to make people function in a collaborative fashion, and how to motivate them to excel their performance. Leaders also know how to balance  the individual team member's quest with the goal of producing synergy - an outcome that exceeds the sum of individual inputs. Leaders require that their team members forego the quest for personal best in concert with the team effort.

China will never assume the role of Big Brother. It is something that the US has push onto the international scene. That kind of attitude or approach is against traditional Confucianism. China will work with other major powers to influence other countries, it will never take the direct approach the US does.

All political leaders seem to like to stay in power, curse them - even to kill to do so.  It's not because they want to help the people - it's a personal thing.  This truth was long ago realised in England and so they got the parliamentary system organised.  The English democratic spirit has been taken over by the new world empire - that of the U.S.A. - God bless them, while the English, like the Romans and the Greeks before them, decline - economically, politically AND morally. (are there two l's in these words?)\nCarry the torch Yanks, I know you have the courage.\nBUT the world situation has changed : COMMUNISM (or, as the Communist Party of China, who run the world's next great power, prefer to call it : "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics", survives !!\nBut don't fret, America - there is only one accurate translation of "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics",\nie. "Socialism with National Characteristics"\nie. "National Socialism" !!\nAm I right, or am I wrong?\nFor the benefit of the birdbrains, this is a joke, but are you sure?

The Constitution assigns the president two roles: chief executive of the federal government and Commander in Chief of the armed forces. As Commander in Chief, the president has the authority to send troops into combat, and is the only one who can decide whether to use nuclear weapons.\n\nAs chief executive, he enforces laws, treaties, and court rulings; develops federal policies; prepares the national budget; and appoints federal officials. He also approves or vetoes acts of Congress and grants pardons.

Anything is possible.  Watch what China does; they are the main protector of the DPRK (North Korea).  If China actively distances itself from the DPRK or abandons communism, the DPRK will have nowhere else to turn except to its brethren in the ROK (South Korea).

The country is still totally controlled by the Communist Party of China, which is the central government.  Individual provinces have their own governments, controlled by party members.\nBut economically, capitalism has been allowed to flourish, bringing prosperity to the country which communism failed to do.  The first people to benefit from this are the Communists - very ironically, the sworn opponents of capitalism!  Hopefully, however, the centralisation of power and national planning will channel this new money the right way.  The government has just announced it's latest 5-year plan for the rural (agricultural) sector (most Chinese are still down on the farm, and poor).  All agricultural taxes have been abolished and many measures will be taken to help the farmers. One wishes them every success in this worthwhile endeavour.

China is biding her time.  She has been around for thousands of years.  She stays under the radar, but will assist the states who support the immediate radicals like Hezbollah until the radical Islamics burn out and fail their intentions for domination.  China wants to take over the world.  She will wait generations for the tide to turn in her favor.

Rule of law from the weakest person to the strongest should be a goal of every country, unfortunately, the Chinese communist party is threatened by the "spiritual" movement Falung Gong, so it's possible these acts are condoned tacitly to "scare "citizens back into the communist fold. Any acts like these, if true, would be signs of desperation. The Chinese government will be on it's best behavior until the Olympics in '08, then I believe there may be great confrontation in China. Their economy is more and more capitalist, the people want and are getting, to a certain degree, a more free and materialistic lifestyle, yet the Communist party still holds sole political power. At some point one will have to give way to the other.

Let me fix the grammar. I have no idea if the information is right or not or if you have to add more since I do not know the assignment:\n\nIf Mao was still alive today to see China, he would definately have some mixed feelings. Some of astonishment and happiness of its success, but others of much displeasure.\n\nWhile Mao was alive, his desire had always been to modernize China. Since China has actively modernized during the last year, Mao would be pleased to witness this achievement. Even more so, Mao would be thrilled to see that China's previous GPD of 3 percent a year grew approximately to 10 making China a very important player in the world economy.\n\nAlthough this sounds good, Mao may be displeased to see China's dramatic change to capitilism since he died. Although the government remains communist, they (PUT WHO THEY IS) do not control the country like they had in Mao's years. \n\nTherefore, Mao would be equally as pleased and displeased in China's dramatic changes. Although they had modernized to become an up and coming player in the world's economy, they have also turned to Mao's worst nightmare: capitalism.

Yes. The People's Republic of China has both President and Prime Minister. The current President of China is Pres. Hu Jintao and the current Prime Minister, or Premier as it is known in China, is Wen Jiabao. Although both share executive power, the President is the Chief Executive and Head of State. The Premier is the Chief of the Chinese Communist Party and is the top man in the legislature.
