This is a list of the Premiers of China since 1911 . According to Chinese historical records, the first premier of China was appointed in about 1130 BC , by First King of Shang Dynasty . Since then, almost every monarch in China had appointed a Premier or Prime Minister to help him to run the administration. This role has been known by several different names, most commonly Chancellor . With the re-unification of China under the Qin Emperor in 221 BC , the power on the premiers' hands was reduced because of the Emperors' intentions of setting up an absolute monarchy. Finally, in 1380 , Emperor Hongwu decreed to kill his Chancellor , & never appointed another one in his life. Since this, emperors never appointed any other premiers up to 1911. During much of the Qing Dynasty , the role of premier was carried out collectively by the ministers of the General Command Centre. The modern creation of Chinese Premiership happened in mid 1911, when the Qing Imperial Government created the "Imperial Family Cabinet" as a "reform" on Chinese politics, shortly before it was overthrown. Since Yuan Shikai take over the premiership, premiers of China played an influential role in Chinese politics. Premiers are appointed by Presidents, but some primiers were even more powerful than the presidents, during the early age of Republic Of China . Some presidents were even expelled by the premiers they appointed. The title of premier in China had been changed several times, so this list is divided into several sections. PRIME MINISTERS OF QING IMPERIAL GOVERNMENT(1911-1912) The Qing Imperial Government created the "Imperial Family Cabinet" in May 1911, in order to appease popular anger and calls for reform. But the formation of Cabinet brought even more disaffection. Soon the Wuchang Uprising forced the Qing government to abolish the cabinet, and instead summon Yuan Shikai to head the government. The imperial government collapsed soon after.
PREMIERS OF THE CABINET OF ROC(1912-1914) According to the Provsional Constitution of Republic of China, which passed in 1912 , the leader of the majority party or the majority coalition should be appointed premier by the president.
