Special administrative region (Republic of China)

In the subdivision of the Republic of China (ROC), "special administrative regions" (zh-tsp|t=特別行政區|s=特别行政区|p=tèbié xíngzhèngqū) were historically used to designate special areas, most of which were eventually converted into provinces. All were suspended or abolished after the end of the Chinese Civil War, with the establishment of the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the ROC government's retreat to what is now the Taiwan Area. The regions are:

Chahar

Chahar was made a special administrative region in 1914 by the Republic of China, as a subdivision of the then Zhili province, with 6 banners and 11 counties. In 1928 it became a province, with 5 of its counties partitioned to Suiyuan, and 10 counties were included from Hebei.
