The Reformed Government of the Republic of China (simplified Chinese: 中华民国维新政府; traditional Chinese: 中華民國維新政府; pinyin: Zhōnghuá Mínguó Wéixīn Zhèngfǔ; Japanese: Chūka minkoku Ishin Seifu) was a Chinese puppet state created by Japan that existed from 1938 to 1940 during the Second Sino-Japanese War. The regime had little authority or popular support, nor did it receive international recognition even from Japan itself, lasting only two years before it was merged with the Provisional Government into the Reorganized National Government of the Republic of China under Wang Jingwei. Due to the extensive powers of the Japanese advisors within the government and its own limited powers, the Reformed Government was not much more than an arm of the Japanese military administration.
