The National Government Committee was the organ in charge of political affairs of Wang Jingwei National Government. According to its Organic Law of the National Government of the Republic of China, the National Government Committee was composed of the Chairman of the National Government and members of the National Government, and the candidates were decided by the Central Political Committee.
President On March 30, 1940, the Wang Jingwei regime was established in Nanjing, with Wang Jingwei serving as the acting chairman (at that time, Lin Sen, who was still in Chongqing, was the chairman of the National Government). On November 28 of the same year, the Central Political Committee held a meeting to revise the Organic Law of the National Government of the Republic of China, deleting the clauses that "the chairman shall not bear actual political responsibility" and "the chairman shall not hold other official positions," and elected Wang Jingwei as the chairman of the National Government.
In 1944, Wang Jingwei went to Japan for treatment due to the worsening of his condition. On March 22 of the same year, the Central Political Committee held an emergency meeting. Based on Wang Jingwei's proposal before his departure, the meeting decided that Chen Gongbo, the president of the Legislative Yuan, would serve as acting chairman of the National Government. After Wang Jingwei's death, Chen Gongbo held an inauguration ceremony on November 20 as acting chairman of the National Government. Although Wang Jingwei was dead, Chen Gongbo still insisted on using the title "acting chairman".
