As a continuation of this thread, where Sun Yat-Sen was blasted as incompetent for presidency of the Republic of China, who would effectively be able to take his place, if we do not count Sun Yat-Sen or Yuan Shikai?

I cannot seem to find any information on how Sun Yat-Sen fared as provisional president or how he would fare as president. All in all, does he have the qualities for the Presidency of the Republic of China or nah?

A few years ago, I remember reading in a book I had to cite from that before China ceded Taiwan to Japan, the British were interested in adding Taiwan to their empire. I looked up the claim myself, but couldn't find any documents supporting it. So what if the British went for Taiwan, either...
