The provincial cities were formerly under the jurisdiction of provinces, but the provinces were streamlined and effectively downsized to non-self-governing bodies in 1998, in 2018 all provincial governmental organs were formally abolished.[2][3] Provincial cities along counties, are presently regarded as de facto principal subdivisions directed by the central government of the ROC.
