The chairman is officially nominated within the CPPCC National Committee and approved by a plenary session of the National Committee. The chairman is a member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee, which handles the regular affairs of the body, and presides over its work. The chairman is also a member of the Chairperson's Council, which handles the day-to-day affairs of the Standing Committee. The chairman is assisted in their work by vice chairpersons and the secretary-general of the National Committee. The chairman is usually the leader of the united front system of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), being the head of the principal forum for united front work.
Since its establishment, all CPPCC chairpersons have been a member of the Politburo Standing Committee of the CCP except during transition periods, being at least its 4th-ranking member. The incumbent chairman is Wang Huning, who is the 4th-ranking member of the PSC.
Roles
The chairman is central to the united front system of the CCP. According to Sinologist Peter Mattis, the role "largely consists of public appearances, speaking engagements, and pressing the flesh to ensure the party’s ideas remain paramount". The chairman speaks at the department directors’ meeting (全国统战部长会议) of the United Front Work Department (UFWD) held around every December or January, with the Chinese state media emphasizing the role of the chairman and their speeches over the UFWD director, who nominally presides over the meeting.
The chairman leads the Leading Party Members Group of the CPPCC, which is responsible for overseeing the implementation of CCP Central Committee policies in the CPPCC. The chairman usually leads the Central Coordination Group for Xinjiang Work and the Central Coordination Group for Tibet Work, the top CCP decision-making bodies on Xinjiang and Tibet, and is usually the deputy leader of the Central Leading Group for Taiwan Affairs, the top CCP decision-making body regarding Taiwan. Additionally, though not required by law, the chairman also generally serves as the leader of the China Council for the Promotion of Peaceful National Reunification (CCPPNR), a united front organization tasked to advance unification with Taiwan.
