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.

It is composed of the chairman, the vice-chairmen, the secretary-general, and other members. No one on the NPC Standing Committee may hold office in any of the administrative, judicial or procuratorial organs of the state. The Standing Committees are elected for the same five-year term as the National People's Congress.
