The judiciary of the People's Republic of China (PRC), organized under the constitution and organic law, is one of five organs of state power elected by the National People's Congress (NPC). The PRC does not have judicial independence or judicial review as the courts do not have authority beyond what is granted to them by the NPC under a system of unified power. The Chinese Communist Party's Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission maintains effective control over the court system and its personnel. Hong Kong and Macau have separate court systems in accordance with the "one country, two systems" doctrine.
