The vice chairpersons of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) are deputies to the chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. The official responsibility of the vice chairpersons is to assist the CPPCC chairman with the leadership of the CPPCC Standing Committee.[1]

The vice chairpersons are officially nominated within the CPPCC National Committee and approved by a plenary session of the National Committee.[2] The vice chairpersons are members of the Standing Committee of the National Committee, which handles the regular affairs of the body, and members of the Chairperson's Council, which handles the day-to-day affairs of the Standing Committee.[2]

The head of the United Front Work Department (UFWD) of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has generally served as the first-ranking vice chairperson.[3] The other vice chairpersons have generally included the president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, former chief executives of Hong Kong and Macau, director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, president of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, and at least one chairperson of one of the eight legally-permitted political parties in China.[3]
