Ads by Google      President of the People's Republic of China Soong Ching-ling, the widow of Sun Yat-sen and former vice-chairwoman of PRC, was named to be the Honorary President of the PRC before the passage of the constitution of 1982. In the constitution of 1982, the President was conceived of as a figurehead head of state with actual state power resting in the hands of the Premier of the People's Republic of China and the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China both of which were conceived of as being separate people. Formally, the President is elected by the National People's Congress in accordance with Article 62 of the Constitution. http://hallencyclopedia.com/President_of_the_People's_Republic_of_China      TSR-PRC China Law Web PRC's Constitution and laws in English, also three U.S.-China Joint Communiques and list of multinational treaties applicable to China China’s Foreign Relations: Softening at the Edges By David Murphy (Far Eastern Economic Review, Nov. 4, 2004) China's rapidly growing economic clout and world status is changing its relationships with formerly wary neighbours from Vietnam and India to Russia and Mongolia.

He at least publicly acknowledged the presence of the protesters' voices in comment during his speeches, a luxury status unattainable in China by her own citizens. During PRC President Jiang Zemin's U.S. visit between 10/28/97 and 11/3/97, SVDC sent delegates to particiapte in protest activities in Washington D.C. and Los Angeles. http://www.svdc.org/jiang.html      Asia Times Online - News from greater China; Hong Kong and Taiwan Even if one were to accept the PRC's position that Taiwan is part of China, if Beijing can write the PRC's constitution and a new Basic Law for Hong Kong, then Taiwan's democratically elected legislature can write a new constitution for Taiwan. And the constitution of the Republic of China, which was thrust upon Taiwan by a despotic dictator from China named Chiang Kai-shek, will need to be scrapped and replaced by a constitution that reflects the democratic mechanisms of governance implemented by the people of Taiwan, Jinmen, Matsu, Orchid Island, Green Island and Penghu. All references to 'China' mean the People's Republic of China."
