The supervision power of the National People's Congress (NPC) and its Standing Committee is to impose restrictions on other national organs of state power and ensure that the government should be run in accordance with the will of the people.
The third plenary session of the 11th National People's Congress (NPC), the country's highest legislative body, will open on Friday at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
The system of people's congresses is the basic political system of China. The Constitution of the People's Republic of China prescribes that all power of the state belongs to the people. The National People's Congress(NPC) and local people's congresses at all levels are the organs through which the people exercise state power.
The National People's Congress (NPC) is the supreme organ of state power in China. It is composed of NPC deputies who are elected according to law from 35 electoral units from the people's congresses of provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government, the People's Liberation Army, the deputy election council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Taiwan compatriots' consultation election council.
There is a substantial difference between motions submitted to a session of the National People's Congress (NPC) and proposals to the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
The NPC Standing Committee is the permanent organ of the National People's Congress. It is responsible to the Congress and reports to the Congress on its work.
