How are NPC deputies elected?

What's the difference between NPC motions and CPPCC proposals?
The difference lies in that as the NPC is the country's top legislature, an NPC motion becomes legally binding when it is adopted; while a proposal to the CPPCC National Committee, the top advisory body, is not legally binding whether it is adopted or not.
