Understanding of China's political party system, should hold the attitude is

The political party system in China is a multi-party cooperation and political consultation system led by the Producers' Party of China, which is different from the two-party or multi-party competition system in western countries and the one-party system in some countries. This system was formed and developed in the long-term practice of revolution, construction and reform in China. It is a basic political system suitable for China's national conditions, a political party system in Socialism with Chinese characteristics and an important part of China's socialist democracy. A few people with ulterior motives believe that China's * * * production party has been in power for a long time and lacks democracy, which is the root of corruption. China should implement the Western-style multi-party rotation ruling system. We need to have a correct understanding of this.

1. Is it undemocratic for many parties to take turns to govern?

Some people think that the western multi-party rotation ruling system is the most democratic, and all countries should copy this system, and China's political system reform should also develop in this direction. This view is debatable.

First, the world's political party systems are diverse and there is no unified model. Any political party system is the result of domestic political development. It not only embodies the progress of human political civilization, but also conforms to China's national conditions. Otherwise, it cannot survive and develop in its own country. Therefore, political parties and their development trends in the world are diverse. Even in countries with the same social system, the political party system is different. The United States, Britain, France, Germany and Japan have their own characteristics. Although multi-party free competition and taking turns to govern are their similarities, the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party once dominated by one party in the decades after World War II. China and the Soviet Union are both socialist countries, but the political party system in China is different from that in the Soviet Union.

Second, the western democratic model of multi-party taking turns to govern has limitations and is not suitable for all countries. Each political party only represents the interests of some people and relies on their support to come to power. In this way, the political party that won the election and came to power will inevitably safeguard or even favor the interests of its supporters, and it is difficult to effectively protect and safeguard the interests of others. Because of their vital interests, all political parties and their interest groups are willing to spend their blood to run for election, which will inevitably lead to excessive competition. Political parties are at loggerheads because of long-term struggle, and society is divided and opposed because of supporting different political parties. This democratic model has a history of hundreds of years in the west and is the product of western society. However, if it is copied to developing countries and regions with completely different history, political traditions and national conditions, it will inevitably lead to political party disputes, social unrest and division. After the drastic changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, some African countries copied this model, which brought chaos instead of democracy.

Third, China's political party system embodies Socialism with Chinese characteristics's democracy. China's political party system is the product of historical development. This political party system has won the support of the people of the whole country and the support of political parties of all ethnic groups, which is in line with China's national conditions. China implements the people's congress system. The National People's Congress is the highest organ of state power and legislature. * * * The Producers' Party recommended some of its members as deputies to the National People's Congress through democratic elections. At the same time, the producers extensively concentrated public opinion, including listening to the opinions of democratic parties, recommending candidates for the leadership of the president and the government, the Supreme Court and the procuratorate to the National People's Congress, so that the National People's Congress can elect the leaders of the country and the government. Governments at all levels are also elected according to the same principle. Every time the National People's Congress and the government have representatives of democratic parties in leading positions. This fully embodies Socialism with Chinese characteristics's democratic principles.

* * * As the ruling party, the production party adheres to democratic governance, governs according to law, widely listens to the opinions and suggestions of the masses, and earnestly accepts the supervision of the masses. * * * Producers' Party attaches great importance to inner-party democracy construction and constantly improves various democratic systems. Further reform and improve the party congress system, and try out the permanent system of county party congresses and the term system of party representatives at all levels in some places to better perform their duties and play their roles. In recent years, we have actively promoted the direct election of grassroots cadres, improved the way of nomination and introduction of candidates, and intensified the reform of democratic elections within the party. At the same time, the collective leadership and democratic decision-making system of leading bodies at all levels have been strengthened. In a word, China's political party system still embodies democracy, and there is no multi-party taking turns to govern. This kind of democracy is not a Western-style democracy, but a democracy in Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Second, does one party's long-term governance inevitably lead to corruption?

Some people think that the long-term governance of one party is bound to be corrupt, and the corruption in China is due to the long-term governance of the * * * production party. How to treat this problem?

First, the cause of corruption cannot be simply attributed to the political party system. At all times and in all countries, corruption has existed throughout the ages, but it has different manifestations under different historical conditions and national conditions. The reasons for corruption are very complicated, which can not be simply attributed to the political party system, let alone that the political party system in China is bound to produce corruption. In fact, under the system of multi-party taking turns in power, there is also a very serious corruption. For example, political contributions, money and power transactions, misappropriation of public funds, illegal operations, etc., which are prevalent in western countries, are all related to many politicians, and some even lose their reputation. In that case, why doesn't anyone simply attribute the cause of corruption to the democratic system in which many parties take turns to govern, and deny this system? Even under the system of multi-party taking turns in power, scandals continue to appear, and some people still regard them as gods, spreading them everywhere and imposing them on others. On the contrary, they simply attributed the corruption in China to the ruling of the * * * production party. This is an obvious ideological bias. Western hostile forces have been using their superior soft power to beautify and deify the multi-party alternate ruling mode, and at the same time demonize and demonize China's political party system. We should have a clear understanding and a correct attitude towards this.

Second, the causes of corruption are more complicated. The revolutionary base areas during the war and New China in the 1950s and 1960s were ruled by the * * * production party. Why didn't the corruption problem stand out? The reason is that all kinds of cadres at all levels have stood the test of a tough environment, and they have high ideological awareness and political quality, are strict with themselves, and have strong ability to resist corruption and change. At the same time, under the planned economic system and relatively closed environment, the induced factors of material shortage, planned supply of daily necessities and corruption are relatively weak. Since the reform and opening up, with the rapid development of the economy, the coexistence of various economic components and the development of the socialist market economy, the wealth of the state, the collective and the individual has been increasing, the financial resources of the central departments and local governments have been expanding, and the power to control public resources has been increasing. Individualism, hedonism and extreme money worship have grown, and money, wealth and luxury life have begun to drive some cadres to pursue wealth, abuse power for personal gain and trade power and money. At the same time, the construction of relevant restriction mechanism has not fully kept up, and some institutional problems have not been completely solved. As a developing country, China is in the primary stage of socialism and lacks experience. Some specific systems need to be further improved. These factors will inevitably affect the prevention and governance of corruption. Some corruption phenomena exist in developing countries, not unique to China, and not necessarily caused by the political party system in China.

Third, * * * producers are determined to prevent corruption and take strict measures. As we all know, China * * * production party has always attached great importance to the prevention and control of corruption, and severely investigated and dealt with all kinds of corruption cases. No matter how big the case is and how high the position of the person involved is, once it is verified, it will be dealt with according to law. Relevant systems, systems, laws and supervision and inspection measures have been gradually improved. In this regard, the hostile forces in the West turned a blind eye. Strangely, on the one hand, they preach that China's political party system will inevitably lead to corruption, and accuse China of being ineffective in preventing corruption; On the other hand, under the pretext of protecting human rights and adhering to democratic principles, they tried their best to protect corrupt officials who fled China and refused to send them back to China for trial. This fully exposed the hypocrisy of its propaganda on human rights and democracy. At present, the prevention and control of corruption in China will continue as always and unswervingly. But there is no doubt that only by strengthening and improving the party's leadership can this work be effectively promoted.

3. What are the advantages of China's political party system?

Although some people at home and abroad have questioned China's political party system, it is undeniable that under the leadership of China Producers' Party, China has achieved national independence and made brilliant achievements in socialist construction and reform and opening up. * * * The production party has won the support of the people all over the country, and party member has grown from dozens of people when it was founded to nearly 80 million people now. Therefore, even some western scholars have to abandon ideological prejudice, acknowledge and seriously study the advantages of China's political party system. The advantages of China's political party system can be summarized as follows.

First of all, it is broadly representative. Western political parties have a distinct brand and only serve their interests on behalf of specific classes, groups and interest groups. The essence of multi-party competition and taking turns to govern is the game between political representatives of these specific classes, groups and interest groups. China * * * property represents the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people and has no special interests of its own. During the revolutionary war, socialist transformation and socialist construction, we emphasized that the * * * production party mainly represents the interests of the broad masses of workers and peasants and is the vanguard of the working class. Since the reform and opening up, with the coexistence and development of various economic sectors, the changes of social class and stratum structure, especially the development of emerging classes, the China * * * production party has adjusted its principles and policies accordingly. Emphasize that the * * * production party is not only the vanguard of the working class, but also the vanguard of the Chinese nation, and pay attention to expanding and consolidating its social foundation. Relevant laws, systems and policies identify private entrepreneurs and individual industrial and commercial households as socialist workers, and actively recruit people who meet the requirements of party member to join the production party organization. Historically, all democratic parties represented specific classes, strata and groups. Since the reform and opening up, great changes have taken place in the classes, strata and groups on which they originally relied. Emerging social classes and new social groups are developing rapidly, their numbers are increasing and their social influence is expanding. Under this circumstance, the democratic parties, with the support and guidance of the * * * production party, adjusted their support targets accordingly, further clarified the mass base of the democratic parties and the Federation of Industry and Commerce, and expanded the target scope of organizing and developing members. This makes the political party system in China more representative under the new historical conditions.

Second, adhere to the principle of consensus. Consensus is a fine tradition and an advantage of China's political party system. As the ruling party, the * * producers' party represents the common interests of the people of the whole country, while as the participating parties, the democratic parties not only represent the interests of their respective classes and groups, but also reflect the common interests of the people of the whole country from one side. This gives the consensus of all parties a reliable social foundation. The system of multi-party cooperation and political consultation led by China's * * * production party is the basic political system of our country. On the basis of extensive investigation, CPPCC at all levels and democratic parties timely reflected the voices and interests of the people they contacted and put forward their own opinions and suggestions. These opinions and suggestions can be submitted to the ruling party and government departments, and can also be expressed at CPPCC meetings at all levels. National development plans, including five-year and medium-and long-term development plans, principles and policies, and budget settlement, must be discussed democratically by CPPCC. The party and the government should listen to their opinions carefully and make necessary adjustments to plans and policies accordingly. In addition to CPPCC, the ruling party directly solicits the opinions of representatives of democratic parties and non-party members on important issues such as personnel arrangements of the party and the state, government work reports and national development plans, and actively accepts the supervision of democratic parties. Therefore, in a sense, the construction and reform of any system and the promulgation of any major principles and policies in China are the crystallization of the consensus of the * * * production party and the democratic parties, and both the ruling party and the participating parties have made efforts and made due contributions to this.

Third, form a strong leadership core. China's political party system not only adheres to multi-party cooperation and political consultation, but also adheres to the leadership of the * * * production party, thus forming the strong leadership core of China's political party system. With the strong leadership of China * * * Production Party, the political party system in China can develop healthily. * * * The Producer Party is the ruling party and the leading party, and always plays the leading core role of taking the overall situation into consideration and coordinating all parties. Democratic parties are participating parties, participating in and discussing state affairs under the unified leadership of the * * * production party, and actively exerting their functions and roles. All democratic parties closely unite around the * * * production party, and have existed for a long time, supervising each other, treating each other with sincerity, sharing weal and woe, and working hard for the development of socialist construction and reform and opening up and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Efforts should be made to promote democracy between the ruling party and the participating parties and within all political parties, allowing discussion and debate of different opinions, but not between factions.
