(→‎List: This is honestly a bit debatable, but it should be worth noting that the Premier of the ROC was constrained by Chiang Kai-shek during the Chinese civil war, which means that the premier had not much control or power at all. And considering the fact Yingqin was serving during that time until the ROC retreated to Taiwan, I feel like it would be right if I moved him to unclear status. Again, this is very debatable, so if this gets reverted, that is completely fine.)
