System of people's congress

The system of people's congress (Chinese: 人民代表大会制度; pinyin: Rénmín Dàibiǎo Dàhuì Zhìdù) under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is the form of government of the People's Republic of China (PRC). It is based on the principle of unified state power, in which all powers are vested in a supreme organ of state power, the National People's Congress (NPC). No separation of powers exists in the PRC. All state organs are elected by, answerable to, and have no separate powers than those granted to them by the NPC. By law, all elections at all levels must adhere to the leadership of the CCP.
