The secretary-general of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress is a deputy to the chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, responsible for assisting the chairman in his work. The secretary-general is responsible for overseeing the operations of the NPCSC General Office.
The secretary-general is formally nominated by the Presidium of the NPC during a session and approved by the delegations of the NPC, though in reality is chosen within the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The chairman, vice chairpersons and the secretary-general of the NPCSC collectively constitute the Council of Chairpersons. The secretary-general oversees the administrative operations of the General Office of the Standing Committee. The post is generally held concurrently by one of the vice chairpersons, and is assisted by one or more deputy secretaries-general.
