Government

China's current form of government is communist and is

led by the Communist party. The Communist party was
formed in 1921 and was led by Mao Zedong. China
Current President is Xi Jinping and was elected in 2013.


The start of the Communist party
China had a civil war from 1945 to 1949. This
was between the Communist party, which was
lead by Mao Zedong and the Kuomintang,
which was lead by Chang Kai-Shek. These two
sides were fighting for control of China. This
war ended when the communist party won
and the Kuomintang was relocated in Taiwan.
Kuomintang
The Kuomintang was led by Chiang Kai-Shek.
He was the president of China from 1928 to 1949
when he was overthrown by the communist party.
Kuomintang was founded by Sun yet-San in 1912
and Chiang Kai-Shek took over when he died.

Previous presidents
Before Xi Jinping was president Li Keqiang was the

in 1978. Next after him was Zhang Dejiang who was
born in 1946. Then before Zhang Dejiang was Yu

Voting
For people to vote in China they need to be over 18 years
and only get one vote. The new president is chosen
by who has the majority of the votes. The people can either
vote for a candidate or abstain but for the votes to count
half of them must be a vote for a candidate.

Recently Clive Palmer has insulted China's people and there
government. His comments had affected Australia's trade with
china. So he was then forced to by the prime minister of Australia
to apologise soon after what he said.
