The party system is an important form of realization of modern democratic politics and an important part of the country's political system.
What kind of party system a country implements is determined by the country's historical traditions and actual national conditions.
The world’s political party systems are diverse, and there is no universal model of party systems.
Mr. Deng Xiaoping, the chief designer of China's reform and opening up, has a famous saying, "No matter black cat or white cat, it is a good cat that can catch mice."
Over the past seventy years, China’s brilliant achievements have fully proved that China’s new political party system is the best cat that can catch mice.
[Explanation] China implements a system of multi-party cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, rooted in Chinese soil.
Its basic characteristics are "the leadership of the Communist Party, the cooperation of multiple parties, the ruling of the Communist Party and the participation of multiple parties in politics."

The Communist Party of China is the ruling party and the core of the leadership of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The eight democratic parties are the participating parties of socialism with Chinese characteristics that accept the leadership of the Communist Party of China and cooperate closely with the Communist Party of China. They are good advisers, helpers, and colleagues of the Communist Party of China. .
In China, it should be said that there are no opposition parties and no opposition parties.
In this political party system, the ruling party and the participating parties are united in the same spirit and in the same boat.
[Explanation] China's new political party system provides a "Chinese solution" for the world's political party system, which is a major contribution to the political civilization of mankind.
And this system also shows its unique advantages and strong vitality in China's political and social life.

First, it can truly, broadly, and lastingly represent the fundamental interests of the majority of the people, concentrating opinions and suggestions from all quarters, achieving scientific and democratic decision-making, and effectively preventing some party systems from representing party interests, class interests, regions, and groups.
