Cen Chunxuan (Chinese: 岑春煊; Pinyin: Cén Chūnxuān; 1861, Xilin, Guangxi, China – April 27, 1933, Shanghai, China) was the governor-general of Sichuan (1902–1903, 1907–1908), Liangguang (1903–1906), and Yungui (1906–1907) and chairman of the Governing Committee of the Military Government of China (1918–1920).

Biography

He was under the protection of General Lu Rongting's Old Guangxi clique after the National Protection War; he founded the Military Bureau in Zhaoqing, Guangdong, together with Liang Qichao, who opposed President Yuan Shikai.

In 1917, he took part in the Constitutional Protection Movement launched by Sun Yat-sen against Premier Duan Qirui and the Beiyang government. In 1918, he became one of seven members, and then the chairman, of the Governing Committee of the southern government. He helped to push Sun Yat-sen out of the government, but he himself was expelled by the Guangdong army in 1920 and then left politics.
