Chiang remained as Director-General of the Kuomintang and continued to give orders to the army as if he were in control.

Chiang retreated to Chengdu and finally moved the government to Taiwan in December 1949, acting as the de facto leader until formally "resuming" his duties the next March.

Li would nominally remain as vice president in absentia until 1954, until being impeached by the Control Yuan for "failure to carry out duties due to illegal conduct."

Due to the relative lack of formal power of the position, it has been coupled in the past with the office of the premier of the Republic of China.
