This is a unicameral, or one house, legislature with representatives directly elected by their municipality. There are 2,987 members and they serve 5 year terms. Only members of the Chinese Communist Party and it's allies are allowed to represent in legislature.
The National People's Congress is the body that is responsible for all legislative actions and lawmaking actions. It does not emulate other governments like England or the United States. The Chinese have pieced together a system. However, this has led to some issues as far as who has power to perform various actions. This has only been further compromised by the recent development of current President Xi Jinping getting term limits removed from the office of President.
