An autonomous municipality,[1] county-level city or city,[I] previously provincial city, is a de jure second-level administrative division unit in the Republic of China (Taiwan).[2]
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.
