The Fujian Provincial Government was founded in 1927 by the
Nationalist government in
Fuzhou (Foochow). Some parts of the province was under the control of either the
Chinese Soviet Republic or the
Fujian People's Government. The provincial government was relocated to
Yong'an County in 1938 after the
Japanese forces occupied the capital Fuzhou during the
Second Sino-Japanese War. After the conclusion of the war, the Fujian provincial government moved back to Fuzhou in 1945. However, the
late stages of the
Chinese Civil War forced the government to relocate to
Kinmen County in 1949 while the Communists founded the People's Republic of China. The central government imposed martial law and Kinmen became a militarized zone causing the provincial government to relocate to
Xindian Township,
Taipei County within
Taiwan Province in 1956. With the end of martial law, Kinmen became demilitarized in 1992 and on 15 January 1996, the provincial government moved back to Kinmen County. On 1 July 2018, by a resolution passed during the 3606th meeting of the Executive Yuan, all the remaining duties were transferred to the
National Development Council and other ministries of the
Executive Yuan. The transformation were scheduled to be done before the end of the year 2018. However, the government will keep the position of Governor of Fujian Province to comply with the requirement set by the
Additional Articles of the Constitution. == Government structure ==
