Thedirector of the National Supervisory Commission is the head of theNational Supervisory Commission, the highest state supervisory agency of China.
Under the current constitution, the director is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of theNational People's Congress (NPC), the legislature. The incumbent procurator-general isLiu Jinguo, who took office on 11 March 2023.
The National Supervisory Commission was established in March 2018.Yang Xiaodu served as the first director.[1]
According to the Organic Law of the National People's Congress (NPC), constitutionally China'ssupreme organ of state power, the director is nominated by theNPC Presidium, the Congress's executive organ.[2] However, the nomination is effectively made by the Chinese Communist Party, with the decisions being made among Party leaders. Candidates for top positions including the director are first approved first by the CCP'sPolitburo Standing Committee, and then by itsPolitburo, then approved in a special plenary session the Central Committee just before the NPC session for election by the Congress, with the Presidium presenting the nominee during the NPC session. Although the Presidium could theoretically nominate multiple candidates for the presidency, leading the election to be competitive, it has always nominated a single candidate for the office.[3]
After the nomination, the director is elected by the NPC, which also has the power to remove him and other state officers from their office. Elections and removals are decided by majority vote only in a NPC plenary session.[4] The length of the director's term of office is the same as the NPC, which is five years, and the prosecutor general is restricted to two consecutive terms of office.[4] The director is required torecite theconstitutional oath of office before assuming office.[5]
