Explain the relationship between the Chinese Communist Party and government institutions at the national level

What will be an ideal response?

The CCP permeates all Chinese institutions, but we can also distinguish the CCP
from those institutions. At the top of all Chinese national institutions are the two most
important state organs, the Political Bureau (Politburo) of the Chinese Communist Party
and the State Council. Members of the Politburo lead the CCP, and the State Council is
the executive branch of government. However, because China is a single?party regime,
final political authority ultimately rests with the leaders of the CCP who sit on the
Politburo, particularly its Standing Committee.
There are usually about 25 members of the Politburo. Over the years, between five and
nine of its members sit on its Politburo Standing Committee. These are the most
important CCP leaders, and as such they are the most important of China's political
leaders. These leaders include the general secretary, or head of the Communist
Party; the premier, who is the head of the government; the chairman of the
National People's Congress; and a few other top provincial leaders and the heads of the
more important national ministries. The Standing Committee meets weekly and makes
the most important political decisions.
The government apparatus in China consists of functional commissions or ministries
(and their lower?ranking counterparts such as bureaus, offices, or sections), as well as a
legislative apparatus, the National People's Congress (the judiciary is not a separate
branch of government). The highest government organ is the State Council, functionally
equivalent to the executive branch. It is headed by the premier, who is assisted by
several vice premiers and state councilors. The State Council manages the day?to?day
operation of the institutions of government, which include the central ministries,
commissions, bureaus, and offices. It is also important to note that the People's
Liberation Army (PLA) does not report to the government, but to the party.
Although in the past top leaders' terms were open?ended, top leaders today are bound
by a two?term limit of five years each. The top positions (nomenklatura) in all
government institutions, from ministers to county officials and below are filled with
personnel chosen by the party. A powerful committee called the Bianwei, comprised of
officials from the State Council, Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Finance, and most
important among them, the CCP Organization Department, chooses how many
personnel slots each ministry, bureau, and office receives, while the party by itself
chooses the individuals who occupy the topmost positions.
