Chinese Political History II: Chapter 2, Exercise 3 — Possible Solution
=======================================================================

TASK
The State Council's Organic Law says the Central Committee leads it.
Explain what that changes about calling it "accountable to the NPC," and
name one claim you could not verify and why it is hedged.

ANSWER

WHAT IT CHANGES
The constitution makes the State Council answerable to the NPC and its
Standing Committee. The Organic Law adds that the CCP Central Committee
leads it and that it must follow the party's ideology and policies. So
accountability runs in two directions at once: formally to the state
legislature, and in command terms to the party. Most senior State Council
members are also Central Committee members, which keeps the two aligned.
"Accountable to the NPC" is accurate as far as it goes but is not the whole
picture.

ONE HEDGED CLAIM
Examples: the details of the 2023 State Council reorganisation (the source
said only that an adjustment occurred); or the informal age-limit norm for
Standing Committee membership, which the sources did not state and which
is therefore left out. Hedge a claim when you saw it in only one place or
saw no detail.

RULE
State what the source says, mark what it does not, and do not fill the gap
from memory.
