China has never had a president elected by the people as do Western countries like France, the United States, Canada, Mexico, and others. It is a Western concept. * In World War 2 China had two main leaders. The Nationalist Chinese were led by Chang Kai-Shek and supported by the Western Allies, namely the US. The Communist, or Red Chinese, were led by Mao Tse Tung and supported by Communist countries, namely the USSR. After the war, Mao took over the entire country except for the island of Formosa (Taiwan) where the Nationalists still rule today with the US on their side. * Chang Kai-Skek may be the closest Chinese equivalent to a president in World War 2, but he was really more like a warlord than a president.
