The Procedures,Mechanisms and Paths of China's Political Party System to Promote Whole-Process People's Democracy—An Analytical Perspective Based on the Political Process
The political party system is a major component of a country's political framework and makes a critical contribution to modern democracy.China's political party system is a system of multiparty cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the Communist Party of China(CPC).It is a major institutional channel for socialist consultative democracy through which the people's position as masters of the country is ensured.In the democratic practice of socialist party politics in China,political parties are not tools for elections but they are main body of democratic governance,playing essential political functions in representing the people's interests,expressing the people's demands,and realizing the people's will.China's political party system adheres to the value orientation of putting the people first.It builds a democratic chain of party politics in China according to the principle of democratic centralism,integrating the concept of the people as masters of the country into the operation process of China's party politics,forming a political logic distinct from Western"electoral democracy".Under the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC,democratic consultation,democratic decision-making,democratic management,and democratic supervision are interconnected throughout the procedures,mechanisms,and paths of China's political party system,which can build a party political process that leverages the advantages of people's democracy.Specifically,the CPC's leadership is the fundamental guarantee of Chinese democracy and China's political party system.Democratic consultation is an important step in building political consensus,while democratic decision-making is an inevitable way to enhance the quality of political decisions.Democratic management serves as a means of participating in the country's political life,and democratic supervision acts as a feedback process for regulating the exercise of power.Based on the functional positioning and operational procedures of China's political party system,the practical mechanisms for promoting whole-process people's democracy can be divided into the CPC's leadership mechanism,political consultation mechanism,deliberation and suggestion mechanism,cooperation mechanism,and democratic supervision mechanism.These mechanisms fulfill the institutionalization requirements of the socialist party politics with Chinese characteristics and facilitate the transformation of the functional advantages of China's political party system into democratic advantages.Exploring the development path of China's political party system in promoting whole-process people's democracy in the new era is not only an active response to practical issues and the demands of the times but also a continuous optimization based on operational procedures and practical mechanisms.It is necessary to further focus on analyzing the political process,reinforcing the correct political direction of whole-process people's democracy,and continuously improving the effectiveness of democratic consultation,the scientific nature of democratic decision-making,the participatory nature of democratic management,and the adaptability of democratic supervision.The political process analysis of China's political party system in promoting whole-process people's democracy combines the value concepts of people's democracy with the operational process of the party system,effectively demonstrating that China's political party system is a genuine and effective socialist democratic system.This process analysis effectively addresses the questions of the times and the world regarding the Chinese-style political party system and the path to Chinese-style democracy.
