In THEORY, Chinese government ministers and congressmen are elected by vote in the body directly in rank before them.

Therefore, according to the constitution...
1. The people elect their local councillors.
2. The local councillors elect provincial legislators.
3. Provincial legislators elect members of the National People's Congress.
4. The National People's Congress elect and approve government officials and national leaders.

HOWEVER, the reality is very different.

In actuality, the Communist Party appoints all councillors, legislators, congressmen, and leaders. All candidates are chosen, screened, and approved by the Communist Party itself.

So, how does the Communist Party do this under the disguise of "elections"? Well, for one thing, the Communist Party is the ONLY legal major political party in China (there are minor ones "in alliance with the communists").

So, if you're a Chinese citizen who's going to vote for a local councillor, either...
1. There's only one candidate and he's the candidate chosen by the Communist Party, or
2. There are several candidates but the Communist Party rigs the vote so that their candidate definitely wins.

And since the local councillors are all Communist Party members, naturally they vote for the Party's appointees to the provincial legislature...
The provincial legislatures vote for the Party's appointees to the National People's Congress...
The National People's Congress rubber-stamps leaders chosen by the Communist Party Politburo...

Get it? :p
All ministers and representatives are chosen by the Communist Party under the guise of elections! Sly, eh?

The "politiburo" of communist party reveals to all chinese whom they have already elected for each post. And all Chinese agree.
