Answer 1: There is no emperor in China today. The monarchy was abolished in 1912, after Empress Dowager Long Yu signed the abdication document on behalf of Emperor Xuantong better known as Puyi.

Emperor Xuantong would go on and serve as the figurehead emperor of Manchuko. The last emperor of the Qing Dynasty was Emperor Xuantong, while the last emperor of China is Yuan Shi Kai.

Even though his reign as emperor is short Yuan Shi Kai is considered by historians as the last emperor of China.

Answer 2: The last dynasty to rule China was the Ch'ing Dynasty. The Ch'ing Dynasty is a Manchurian group of people who governed the Han-Chinese race of people. The Ch'ing Dynasty (a foreign dynasty as opposed to being indigenous Han-Chinese) ruled China from 1643 to 1912. The prior dynasty was called the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), which ended in 1644.

During the ending portion of the Ming Dynasty, CHOU Shun Cheong was installed by the senior leadership of the Ming Dynasty and by other traditional Chinese people who held the Mandate of Heaven and the Chou Dynasty, once again came into being.

If traditional ways of determining what an emperor truly is, then Yuan Shi Kai can never be said to be a traditional Chinese emperor. He is, rather, a military dictator and in that sense, perhaps, an "emperor"!
