State and Political Parties
State Organs
The Constitution of the People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that the country's central state organs comprise six components: the National People's Congress (NPC), the Presidency of the PRC, the State Council, the Central Military Commission, the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate.
The five organs—the Presidency of the PRC, the State Council, the Central Military Commission, the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate—are formed by the NPC, and are responsible to the NPC and its Standing Committee.
The Communist Party of China
The CPC, or the CCP, was founded in 1921 and became the dominant political party of China in 1949. The system of government is complex, but basically focuses on a governing council of 300 who are responsible for making laws that support the will of the Chinese people. Economic reforms have taken place in the party in the recent past to encourage business in a more capitalist way.
