    People’s congresses are directly elected at a local level, and these representatives directly elect people at the provincial level, and so forth until the top rung. At the same time, consensus-building and regular connection at all levels to the people directly occurs. In addition, around 3000 people are elected to the NPC based on district population for five year terms, and this is one of the major democratic organs for legislation. The result is comprehensive democracy focused on unity over division.
