REFORMED GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA

The 'Reformed Government of the Republic of China' (中華民國維新政府) was a Japanese puppet state that existed from 1938 to 1940. It was established in Nanjing by Liang Hongzhi and others on March 28, 1938, and administered the Japanese-occupied parts of the provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui as well as the two municipalities of Nanjing and Shanghai.
The Reformed Government was abolished in March 1940, together with the Provisional Government of the Republic of China (based in Beijing). The two were superseded by Wang Jingwei's new government.
