Reorganized National Government of China

The Reorganized National Government of China (Chinese: 中華民國國民政府), also known as the Wang Jingwei Regime (汪精衛政權) was a puppet government in China. It was led by Wang Jingwei, under the protection and support of the Empire of Japan. Only Japan and the other Axis powers recognized the Wang Jingwei regime as the legitimate government of China. The regime ended in 1945, at the end of World War II and the surrender of the Japanese army in China.
