The Historical Origin of Deliberative Democracy

Socialist deliberative democracy originates from the excellent political culture of the Chinese nation, such as serving the public, being inclusive and seeking common ground while reserving differences, which conforms to the psychological orientation and behavior of the broad masses of the people. Culture is the accumulation of history, and no society can be separated from its social and cultural soil.

There are many traditions of democratic consultation in China's traditional culture, which pursue harmony rather than conflict. Cooperation rather than competition; It is reasonable rather than arrogant; It is the public interest, not individualism. These cultures make it difficult for people to accept electoral democracy that advocates competition and opposition, which provides a unique cultural soil for China to further promote the democratic political construction in Socialism with Chinese characteristics with democratic consultation as a breakthrough.
