Who's who in Greater China's politics

To most people, China is equivalent to the People's Republic of China (PRC), but in fact another independent and sovereign political entity also exists in the Greater China area—the Republic of China (ROC), which controls Taiwan, the Pescadores (Penghu), Kinmen (also known as Quemoy), Matsu and other small islets.
The fact that both states have their own governments but quite similar names often causes confusion. The following lists show top government and party officials of each side.
