    You don’t.

    Any Chinese citizen can run for the National People’s Congress and most members aren’t in the CPC to the extent it’s problematic. The average net worth of an NPC member is in the hundreds of millions of USD.

        Here you go.

        The combined net worth is around 500 billion USD (or at least it was in 2019, it’s probably higher now, the pandemic was a feast for billionaires and the US has had worse inflation than China) and there are just under 3000 members.
