This system is based on the principle of unified state power,in which the legislature,the National People's Congress (NPC),is constitutionally enshrined as "the highest state organ of power."

By law,all elections at all levels must adhere to the leadership of the CCP. The CCP controls appointments in all state bodies through a two-thirds majority in the NPC.

All government bodies and state-owned enterprises have internal CCP committees that lead the decision-making in these institutions.
