Since 2018, it has been superseded and its duties have been transferred to the Kinmen-Matsu Joint Services Center, the National Development Council and other ministries of the Executive Yuan.

Some parts of the province was under the control of either the Chinese Soviet Republic or the Fujian People's Government.

The provincial government was relocated to Yong'an County in 1938 after the Japanese forces occupied the capital Fuzhou during the Second Sino-Japanese War.

However, the late stages of the Chinese Civil War forced the government to relocate to Kinmen County in 1949 while the Communists founded the People's Republic of China.

However, the government will keep the position of Governor of Fujian Province to comply with the requirement set by the Additional Articles of the Constitution.
