The Intrinsic Compatibility of Whole-Process People's Democracy and the New-Type Party System from a Power Perspective
The concept of whole-process people's democracy addresses fundamental issues of democracy and the definition of power systems,with its conceptual formation inextricably linked to the role of the new-type party system.Predicated on continuous cooperation and consultation among multiple parties,the new-type party system constitutes a normative framework with specific power facets.Whole-process people's democracy serves as a node in the broader power system of political parties and their activities within political society,shaping political relationships through the public validation mechanism between parties and the people inherent in the new-type party system.Both concepts converge on party-centrism based on the expansion of state power.Party-centrism accentuates the public force of political parties in integrating state-society relations.Within this framework,the Communist Party of China embodies the representation of people's interests and the exercise of public power,reinforcing its core leadership role in the practice of whole-process people's democracy.Understanding and implementing whole-process people's democracy hinges on utilizing the political value and functions of China's new-type party system.The high degree of compatibility between whole-process people's democracy and the new-type party system offers novel insights for the development of Chinese-style democracy and the construction of a new form of political civilization of humanity.
