Because the duration of the two sessions basically coincides, it is of great importance to the operation of the country, so it is called "two sessions" for short. From the provincial level to the central level, the sessions of the CPPCC plenary session and the NPC plenary session basically coincide, so the names of the two sessions can be applied to the whole country and all provinces (cities and autonomous regions) at the same time.
The two sessions are called once every five years, and the annual meeting is called X and X. According to China's constitution, the significance of convening the "two sessions" lies in collecting and sorting out the information and demands obtained by the representatives of the "two sessions" from the people and conveying them to the CPC Central Committee.
Representatives of the "two sessions" represent the interests of the majority of voters and put forward their own opinions and demands to relevant government departments during the two sessions. The annual local people's congress and CPPCC, also known as the two sessions, are usually held earlier than the national "two sessions".
Members of people's congresses at all levels and CPPCC are called NPC deputies and CPPCC members. These two are what we often call "representatives" and "members".
Representatives and members are produced in different ways. NPC deputies in China are divided into five levels, which are elected. CPPCC members are elected through consultation and recommendation. The functions of deputies and members are also different. The main function of NPC deputies is to participate in the exercise of state power, while the main function of CPPCC members is to participate in and discuss state affairs.
