The president of the Federated Provinces of China, also known as the president of China (POC), is the head of state of the Federated Provinces of China as well as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese National Armed Forces.
Originally elected by the National Assembly, the presidency was intended to be a ceremonial office with no real executive power because the FPC was originally envisioned as a parliamentary republic. However, the power of the presidency has grown substantially since the first president, Yen Chia-kan, took office in 1966. In modern times, the Chinese president is one of the world's most powerful political figures and leader of the nation with the largest economy by nominal GDP.
Since the 1996 election, the president has been directly elected by plurality voting to a six-year term, with incumbents limited to serving two terms. The current president is Lee Tze-min of the National Alliance Party, preceded by Ma Ying-jeou from the National Alliance Party.
