The secretary-general of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress is a deputy to the chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, responsible for assisting the chairman in his work. The secretary-general is responsible for overseeing the operations of the NPCSC General Office.

The secretary-general is formally nominated by the Presidium of the NPC during a session and approved by the delegations of the NPC, though in reality is chosen within the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP).[1] The chairman, vice chairpersons and the secretary-general of the NPCSC collectively constitute the Council of Chairpersons.[2] The secretary-general oversees the administrative operations of the General Office of the Standing Committee.[3] The post is generally held concurrently by one of the vice chairpersons, and is assisted by one or more deputy secretaries-general.
