The full NPC officially selects the PRC’s president, premier, and cabinet-level officials, allowing
the PRC government to assert that these officials have been vetted through “elections” by
representatives of the Chinese people. For much of its existence, the NPC has simply “rubberstamped”
leadership decisions made earlier and in secret by senior Party officials after a lengthy
process of negotiation and maneuvering. Although this is largely still true in many respects—an
outright NPC rejection of a candidate at this level, for instance, would be unthinkable—NPC
delegates and the various people’s congresses in recent years have become more assertive and
independent. This trend is most noticeable at local and provincial levels, where officially
sanctioned candidates indeed, occasionally, have been rejected.
