Overview
Taipei, capital of the Republic of China, was also the capital of Taiwan until 1956. Ground was broken on the village on November 4, 1955, and branches of the government began moving in July 5, 1956. The provincial government held its first meeting at Zhongxing New Village on November 27, 1957, and the provincial administration building began use on July 1, 1957.
The People's Republic of China (PRC), which has ruled the Chinese mainland since 1949, does not recognise the move of the provincial government from Taipei to Zhongxing New Village as legitimate. Thus, the PRC publishes Taipei as the provincial capital on its official maps.
