Shouldn't the list also include effective leader? like Deng
-- user:voidvector
No. This article is about a specific office in the PRC. The fact that that person may not be the effective leader needs to be mentioned, but it really belongs in politics of China.
Chairmen of the People's Republic of China
Mao Zedong (1954 - 1959) Liu Shaoqi (1959 - 1969)
Presidents of the People's Republic of China
Li Xiannian (1983 - 1988) Yang Shangkun (1988 - 1993) Jiang Zemin (1993 - 2003) Hu Jintao (since 2003)
So who was in charge from 1969 to 1983? All I know is that Mao' funeral was held September 18, 1977. I remember the date, because Rev. Moon held a crucially important peace rally on the same day at the Washington Monument. --Uncle Ed 14:21 Apr 16, 2003 (UTC)
IIRC, during that period the position "Chairman" (or "president") was cancelled. --Lorenzarius 14:50 Apr 16, 2003 (UTC)
"Song Qingling, former vice-president of PRC, was named to be the Honorary President of the PRC before the passage of the constitution of 1982. "
Is this the same Song Qingling as Sun Yat-sen's widow? --Jiang 04:36, 4 Aug 2003 (UTC)
[edit] "Created by 1982 Constitution"?
The articl ie self-contradictory: on the one hand it says the position was created in 1982, and on the other hand it refers to officeholders before 1982, and explains that these were translated as "chairman/woman".
If there were officeholders before 1982 but with a different translation, wouldn't it be the same office? --Sumple (Talk) 06:22, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mao vs. Liu
I find it interesting someone inserted that Mao didn't want the presidency back because then it would seem he just wanted to rob Liu of his position. Where did you find this. I'd like to read up on it. Colipon+(T) 07:51, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
