Politics of the People's Republic of China
The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPCSC; Chinese language|Chinese: 全国人民代表大会常务委员会, pinyin: Qu?ngu? R?nm?n D?ibiǎo D?hu? Ch?ngw? Wěiyu?nhu?) is a committee of about 500 members of the National People's Congress (NPC) of the People's Republic of China (PRC), which is convened between plenary sessions of the NPC. It has the constitutional authority to modify legislation within limits set by the NPC.

The NPCSC also has quasi-judicial functions, in that it has the power to interpret laws of the PRC. A notable use of the latter power occurred in 1999 during the dispute of the Right of abode issue, Hong Kong|Right of Abode issue in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. In the case, the NPCSC interpreted the Hong Kong Basic Law|Basic Law of Hong Kong in accordance with the position taken by the Hong Kong government with respect to the eligibility of permanent residency in Hong Kong. However, unlike a supreme court, an intepretation of the NPCSC is legislative in nature and not judicial, as it does not affect cases which have already been decided.
