Great Hall of the People
The Great Hall of the People is the political hub of Beijing and home of the National People's Congress. Every year, in March, the Great Hall of the People plays host to the "liang hui" (literally means "two meetings") event, where both the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and the National People's Congress (NPC) meet in sessions lasting for two to three weeks at the Great Auditorium. The Communist Party of China (CPC) also holds its National Congress every five years in the Great Hall of the People.
Government of the Republic of China
Originally established in 1912 in Nanking, the Government of the Republic of China relocated several times, and finally moved to Taipei in 1949 because of its military losses in the Chinese Civil War. The government had historically been dominated by the Kuomintang, but the situation has changed as Taiwan evolved into a multi-party democracy.
