National Government (Nanjing, 1940-1945)
A National Government, as a challenge to the legitimacy of Chiang Kai-shek's National Government in Chongqing, was established as a Japanese collaborationist government established under occupation. As evidence of its claims to legitimacy, the government in Nanjing established the same set of institutions as the one in Chongqing and flew an almost-identical flag. This replaced the Provisional and Reformed National Governments. Chairmen of the National Government (國民政府主席):
- Wang Jingwei (March 30, 1940 - November 10, 1944)
- Chen Gongbo (20 Nov 1944 - Aug 1945) (acting)

—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“It doesn’t matter who you vote for, the government always gets in.”
