This system is based on the principle of <a href="/wiki/Unified_power" title="Unified power">unified state power</a>, in which the legislature, the <a href="/wiki/National_People%27s_Congress" title="National People's Congress">National People's Congress</a> (NPC), is <a href="/wiki/Constitution_of_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China" class="mw-redirect" title="Constitution of the People's Republic of China">constitutionally enshrined</a> as "the highest state organ of power." As China's political system has no <a href="/wiki/Separation_of_powers" title="Separation of powers">separation of powers</a>, there is only one branch of government which is represented by the legislature.
